Open points
It is possible that the agreement between the banking world and the unions will actually be signed between tomorrow and Friday. The CASL meeting, urgently convened yesterday morning, appears to have been decisive in resolving the impasse. On just the first day, it seemed that any prospect of an agreement was faltering, with an increasingly distant view between union organizations and Abe. Then in the afternoon, the organizational proposals were monitored, with union observations presented by Fabi’s national secretary, Elisabetta Mercaldo, along with “General” Cellione. According to what was leaked, the salary increases will take effect as of December 1, with part of the arrears starting in 2023 (this point is still being determined).

Another notable element of the new contract is the full reinstatement of the 100% rule for calculating end-of-service benefits, after it was reduced in 2012 and then partially restored in 2019. There will also be changes in employee movements and transitions – employees, with an increase in each of kilometers and age beyond which the bank cannot transfer an employee. Trade policies remain at the heart of the debate with the strengthening of the bilateral national committee dealing with trade pressure on the sales network, which will be fully integrated into the national contract. It is also expected that the current employment fund designated for the employment of young people under 35 years of age will be used to pay part of the salaries (25%) of senior workers who work part-time, in exchange for the entry of new young people. From 2010 to date, thanks to the Employment Fund, 40,000 young people have entered the country. A tool strongly demanded by the Union.
