Why It Matters
The confrontation between banks and unions concerns the renewal of the contract for approximately 260 thousand workers in the sector.
The discussion between banks and unions for the renewal of the category's contract, which involves around 260 thousand workers, starts again on Monday at the ABI headquarters. The negotiations, which concern both the economic part (with an average increase of 518 euros when fully operational) and the regulatory and organizational part, are affected by the new tax burden of just under 6 billion decided on the financial sector by the Budget, and the uncertain prospects on the economic and international front.
A new framework that the unions (Fabi, First Cisl, Fisac Cgil, Uilca and Unisin) have requested does not block the negotiations. The secretary of Fabi, Lando Sileoni, in recent days asked the government to "stop and evaluate the consequences of a further tightening of taxation on banks", to avoid consequences on renewal and on workers in the sector.
The president of the Abi Antonio Patuelli has assured in recent weeks that the association will evaluate "in depth" the platform for the renewal of the banking contract put forward by the unions, and the CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo, Carlo Messina, has noted that "we have always had a positive approach for our people. Our approach is always to take care of our people".
After Monday's meeting, a new meeting is scheduled for November 19.
