Italy: Uil union confederation terminates 1993 protocol, the founding act for social relations in the country

As he announced last week, Uil general secretary Luigi Angeletti sent, on June 13th, to the President of the Council of Ministers, to the Ministry of Labor and to all the social partners, his letter terminating the 1993 protocol.  The reason?  After learning that, for the renewal of the sectoral CCN, the ABI (Association of Italian Banks) wanted to keep on applying the regulations contained in the agreement of July 23, 1003, notably using planned inflation instead of the new provisional index taking the harmonized consumer price index (HICP) for Italy as a reference, minus the cost of imported energy inflation, adopted by the separate agreement of 2009 (this index was actually one of the key reasons for the CGIL’s refusal, see our dispatch No.  090080), the Uil declared that the 2009 reform “overruled” the 1993 protocol and, to avoid any doubts as to the actual application of its standards and procedures,” decided to “officially and formally terminate it.”
