Companies-unions, agreement on representation and contracts signed

After a long negotiation lasting almost eighteen hours, this morning the hypothesis of a framework agreement on representation, contractual structures, wages and contents of collective bargaining was signed between CGIL, CISL, UIL and thirteen employers' associations, from Confindustria to Confcommercio, from artisans to cooperatives. The chapters on health and safety, training and participation complete the agreement. The rules range from contract renewals to the recovery of the purchasing power of wages up to the measurement and certification of the weight of trade union and employer acronyms, to counter pirate agreements.
