Historic labour agreement signed in Italy

14th of September 2011

An historically significant agreement has been reached between the Italian employers' federation Confindustria and major trade unions (MF,CGIL,CISL and UIL) on reform of the collective bargaining system.

It has taken two years to reach agreement because CGIL held out against the new rules.
