This was announced by the Ministry of Economic Development, explaining that a framework agreement was signed in the Dicastery between Telecom Italia and the trade unions FISTEL Cisl, UILCOM Uil and Ugl Telecomunicazioni. The CGIL confirmed that it did not participate in the table.
The agreement, explains the Mise, "defines the path with which the parties intend to pursue the aim of better protection of workers within the framework of reorganization and efficiency improvement of the Telecom Group" and "significantly implements the requests made in previous meetings by the trade union organizations and by the same Ministry".
