Unions and cooperative centers have signed an agreement which will be submitted for consultation with workers and employers’ organizations in the coming weeks. “We made a great effort – they said Stephen Grenade, Eleanor Vanni And Emmanuel Monks, respectively of Federsolidarietà Confcooperative, Legacoop sociali and Agci social enterprises – for the valorisation of social cooperation, starting from a fair economic recognition of workers. In recent years, even in the recent pandemic, the essentiality of social and healthcare professions and the employment of the most vulnerable individuals has become evident. This essentiality. now, it must be truly recognized – continued the presidents of the central cooperatives – by the institutions, starting from the Regions, with the recognition of adequate tariffs and economically appropriate contracts, otherwise it will not be possible to support either this contract or the cooperatives and, consequently, the income of members and workers”.
Economic highlights of the hypothesis for the new contract are the forecast of an increase of 120 Euros per month at level C1, to be re-measured for the others levels contractual, from January 2025 the introduction of the fourteenth month salary at 50% and the increase in the amount for supplementary healthcare which reaches €120 per year. Always with a view to valorisation of members and workers, the economic integration of maternity is extended to 100%. A further element that qualifies the agreement, also on a value level.
The common commitment between labor unions And cooperatives for adequate procurement and tariffs, the fight against false companies and wage dumping also finds its response in the contract through a new observatory on procurement and on the definition of a possible graduality more in line with company realities and the non-recognition of contractual increases.
As for the cooperation social of job placement, in addition to a more cogent definition of its fields of application, new professional profiles are inserted in order to make the contractual provisions increasingly in line with the actual activities carried out by the members. Finally, they find a solution to the issue of time dressing and that of the so-called passive nights, through an adjustment of the service amounts.
