On Friday 13 September, an agreement on Industry 4.0 was signed between the Italian branch of the multinational group Unilever and the three sectoral unions FLAI-CGIL, FAI-CISL and UILA-UIL. The agreement seeks to develop a pro-active approach in terms of transformation processes by working closely with social partners and local businesses in focusing on employability and by supporting workers via personalized life-long training and occupational reclassification opportunities.
Four key concepts dominate the social dialogue process, namely, combining organizational flexibility with workers’ guarantees, training opportunities for all workers and professional groups, principle of adapting projects in line with workers’ differing age profiles, and building local level alliances with companies and institutions in order to meet objectives.
