The collective agreement for the steel sector that was concluded by the end of November (see our November Newsletter) was approved by an overwhelming majority of the workforce (80.1% of the workers voted in favour). On 1 December 2016, all three trade unions FIOM-CGIL, FIM-CISL and UILM-UIL had a meeting and issued a joint statement, calling the achieved agreement ‘a good contract for metalworkers’. The deal was sent for approval to the workforce for a binding referendum on 19, 20 and 21 December.
