Italy's three largest trade union
confederations CGIL, CISL and UIL have signed an agreement with
the government that grants a pay rise on civil servant
contracts, ending a seven-year deadlock.
The unions signed the agreement Wednesday evening, which will
add "no less than 85 euros per month" to 3.3 million employee
contracts, for a total of 5 billion euros once the program is
running at full speed.
Civil Service Minister Marianna Madia said the rise is
"average" because it will be integrated at various pay grades
with "greater attention and support to lower incomes" in order
to "reduce the pay gap".
