AASLP wage earners and civil servants, signed agreements with payroll advances
On 5 December, the Federations of Services and Public Employment of the three trade unions CSdL, CDLS and USL signed two agreements with the Congress of State which provides for an advance on the future renewal of the employment contracts respectively of the employees of the AASLP and of the civil servants; contracts expired for more than 10 years. The agreement for employees provides for the payment of a 1.5% increase as an advance starting from January 2022 and the recognition of the sixth step, starting from July 2022, to the employees who have accrued it. The signing of the agreement came after a meeting with wage workers who expressed themselves in favor by a very large majority. The constant mobilization of employees, culminating in the strike with a demonstration on the Pianello and in front of the Secretariat for the Territory, made it possible to achieve this result, and helped to create the premises for defining the agreement also for the PA. This is further proof that worker participation remains crucial. The Public Employment Federations in turn signed an agreement for all Public Administration employees which provides for an advance equal to a 1.5% increase in payroll starting from January 2022. The content of the agreement was discussed, evaluated and approved in the joint meeting of the directors of the three federations of public employment, which was held on Friday 2 December. For the Secretaries of the Services and Public Employment Federations, this is a good meeting point that finally allows the payrolls of AASLP employees and PA employees to move after a very long period of inactivity. However, these are only partial goals: the main objective is to carry out contractual renewals, in which – in addition to an updated regulatory part – further economic increases will be recognized, aimed at protecting wages from the high cost of living. The commitment of the Government and the trade unions is to sign the new consolidated contractual texts by June 2023. The down payment recognized with these agreements is only a first step, to subsequently be able to define, at the conclusion of the respective contracts, much more substantial economic increases and in line with the current period.
