On 11 July the Uil presented project DIGIT@UIL, which is a database of some seven hundred second level agreements (local and company). The software, which will be open to the public in September, enables statistical analyses across the entire database as well as specific themed searches with two hundred agreements already having been broken down according to clauses covering certain themes.
The Uil central union is a longtime proponent of decentralized collective negotiation, which it sees as being complementary to national collective agreements. Nonetheless, in Italy company and regional agreements are not well developed and the union thus decided to set up a database that would both serve as a powerful analytical tool and as a boost to the dissemination of such agreements.
