From social security dedicated to parental leave, military unions are pressing for the maneuver

While the maneuver is preparing to complete its parliamentary conversion process, with the first round starting from the Chamber, the military unions are pressing and in a joint statement they propose to the Government and parliament a six-point list of solutions which, in their opinion, will have to be included in the final version of the provision. Dedicated pension, additional resources for the Fesi (the Fund for the efficiency of institutional services) of the Army, Navy and Air Force, contract renewal 2028-2030, transfer allowance, tax relief and parental leave.

Military unions demand equal treatment compared to the police forces. In order to guarantee the satisfaction of the needs of protecting public order and safety, the maneuver authorizes the overall expenditure of 50 million euros for 2027 intended for the remuneration of overtime work by Police Force personnel. 19 million euros go to the State Police, the same amount to the Carabinieri; 9.5 million are attributed to the Financial Police and 2.5 to the Penitentiary Police. However, nothing was foreseen for the Army, Navy and Air Force.

And in particular:

Dedicated pension and supplementary pension

The unions are asking for at least 500 million structural euros per year, with certain times and methods, to counteract the pension penalties of staff in the mixed system and of those who enlisted between 1996 and 2005. In particular, a system is needed to compensate for the pension penalties of a category that retires early and thus accrues fewer contributions, on which the PA minister Paolo Zangrillo has given a first signal, who recently started a roundtable on social security issues. According to current estimates, around half a million would be needed to make the system operational in 10 years.

Fesi

In this case the request is for an additional 150 million per year for the Fesi of the Army, Navy and Air Force, tying the resources for the enhancement of operational services to the ancillary treatment of personnel.
