Italy: collective agreement renewed for logistics, freight and parcel shipment sector

On 18 May the social partners in the logistics, freight and parcel-shipping sector signed an agreement to renew their national collective agreement (NCA), which covers almost 1 million workers. According to the trade unions, this is the first time in 15 years that all the employers' organizations in the sector - including the cooperative organizations, which are particularly relevant in subcontracting - have signed the same text at the same time. The new collective agreement, runs until 31 March 2024, provides for an average monthly salary increase of €104, and commences consultation on modernizing the text amid structural changes in the sector. The agreement must now be approved by the workers' assemblies.
