Good news for ITA comes today with the signing of the renewal of the national collective agreement. "The renewal of the national collective labor agreement was signed today with Assaereo and at the same time, with Ita Airways, a protocol on trade union relations that must absolutely restore industrial relations to normal". This is what

, who continue: "On the basis of these premises, an industrial agreement was signed that implements the forecasts for the recruitment of an additional 4,000 workers, by June 2022, with the necessary certifications and qualifications. All will take place by 2025, in line with the increase in the fleet with the new aircraft acquired ".

The trade unions specify: "The supplementary company contract concerns both seafaring and ground personnel. An agreement has been reached on the variable performance bonus, which will take into account, as envisaged by the institute, the quality improvements. economic aspects and therefore the supplementary company contract, with respect to the regulation, provides for an increase of over 15% for the first year, which will then gradually grow up to 20% over the plan period, limiting the impact on unilaterally imposed wages. some ancillary skills of the flight crew have been improved. There have been improvements in welfare for pilots, flight attendants and ground staff. This series of interventions, together with the initiation of normal trade union relations, interrupt a drift which,failing that, it would probably have led to conflict in a very short time. In the next few days there will be a series of technical level meetings to improve working conditions ".

, for all ITA Airways employees. The conditions of 2022 remain unchanged, while from 2023 there will be a progressive realignment of the salary elements, starting from an increase of 3% for pilots and 1% for flight attendants. "After 5 years that the national employment contract was not renewed, we have achieved an important goal that we hope will ensure the competitiveness of all Italian air transport companies", underlines

"There are two elements to underline: the introduction of the performance bonus present for the first time in such a significant measure on remuneration and above all linked to customer satisfaction, to which the confirmation of the profitability objectives of the business plan is linked the achievement of operational breakeven in the second quarter of 2023 ", he concludes.

"The agreements reached are a first significant step that improves working conditions in a context in which the workers of this company have already suffered too much, starting with the diktats of the European Union. The contractual and industrial agreements signed today must constitute a turning point in the relations between Ita and its workers and provide the tools to really get the national airline off the ground. Now management and shareholder must do their part by making concrete and improving the industrial plan, implementing the necessary investments and guiding the company to the within a large alliance on favorable conditions, in the interest of Ita workers, of those waiting to be reintegrated into the production cycle, of all Italian and country air transport.The undersigned organizations will work for this to happen and will continue in the work of improving wages and employment ".
