Signed #contract healthcare. Thank you to all those who take care of our health every day. A process that we have been working on for four years has been completed: the renewal of the contract, which has been on hold for almost 10 years, for over 3 million public employees. #ReformPA

Still on strike instead nurses, who have decided not to sign the agreement.
The signing came after 28 hours of non-stop negotiation. “After about 10 years of strikes, mobilizations and initiatives, often alone as FP Cgil, today comes a first result. The third piece to recompose the framework of public work, after the renewal of the contract of the Central Functions and the recent agreement on that of the Local Functions”, announced the general secretary of the FP Cgil Serena Sorrentino.
91 euros per capita are foreseen to increase productivity funds and re-evaluate allowances following the supplementary bargaining. Among other novelties of the agreement, the 15 minutes of working time will be included in the calculation of the time worked dressing and the times of change turn. As regards all the other salient points of the contract – hiring, training, additional resources – a regional comparison will open.
