In December 2005, trade unions and employers in the Italian telecommunications sector signed a draft collective agreement for the 2005-8 period.
The industry’s 120,000 workers will now be asked to approve the new agreement in workplace assemblies. The deal introduces numerous changes, notably an extension of its coverage to include call-centre companies and the introduction of new rules on subcontracting and outsourcing. Both sides have expressed their satisfaction with the draft agreement, although worries have been voiced concerning the
issue of market regulation and the role of the Guarantee Authority for Telecommunications.
