Friuli Venezia Giulia, the contract for 13 thousand public employees is blocked

Stalemate situation for around 13 thousand public employees in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The regional control section of the Court of Auditors has frozen the certification of the renewal of the 2022-2024 collective agreement intended for the staff of the Region and local authorities (Single sector). A key institutional step that effectively blocks the disbursement of salary increases and arrears that were expected on payslips in the coming months.

As the Nem group newspapers report, the decision caught both the regional administration and the trade unions by surprise. The agreement, signed in recent months after long negotiations, provided for a package of over 57 million euros with salary increases from 114 to 180 euros gross per month, depending on the categories. To these were added the arrears (equal to 6 thousand euros gross) and other supplementary welfare measures.
