Exactly one week after the Central Functions Area, there is also the Pre-Understanding Health Services Area acronym relating to 137,370 medical managers, dentists, veterinarians, biologists, chemists, physicists, pharmacists, psychologists and managers of nursing and technical-health professions. In this case, what was hypothesized in the Policy Law of 17 September happened where it was hoped that there would be a “quick closure” of the contract and then negotiations would quickly start again for the three year period 2025-2027.
The contract, which expires in 2024, has been renewed
In several meetings – 1, 15 and 27 October and 10 and 18 November – an agreement was reached and, after the Sector and PTA management, therefore, the healthcare managers finally also got an update that – I will always point out, until I get bored – refers to the three-year period 2022-2024, which had already ended more than a year by the time the final signing arrived. This contract was also not signed by CGIL which was followed by FASSID and the acronyms of the signatories were six and related Confederations, with a representation percentage of 76.15%.
An official statement has appeared on the ARAN website stating that “the hypothesis characterizes us primarily by a significant economic increase”: now, everyone sees it from their point of view, but the “sensitive” increase is the increase of all other public employees, namely 5.78% of the 2021 wage bill, considered by some to be completely unsatisfactory – according to one thesis and a half, according to the other, a third – compared to inflation in the same period. Apparently it was decided to proceed with a kind of bridge contract that would include the small increases required by law in pay slips so as not to further damage the purchasing power of wages, thus spending months in very complicated negotiations, as in the past. In short, the aim is to immediately open negotiations for the next three year period, 2025-2027, which is currently one third complete.
All regulatory aspects are missing
All aspects of regulation are absent, both the maintenance of previous contracts and current events. In particular, the sector committee guidelines relating to the managerial position system (paragraph 3 of the Guidelines Act), working hours (4), availability of services (5), additional services (7) have been set aside for the next contract. Regarding holidays and holidays (6) and restoration of labor relations (8), some minor changes do not change the general structure, but what is contained in paragraph 12 of Art. 9 is remarkable in its tenacity in the face of a situation that has now completely changed. Of course there are some incomprehensible and essentially useless steps that make renewal a “real” collective agreement. Which mainly refers to the issue of working hours which must be included in the next contract. The signed text, for the obvious reasons stated above, is very sparse and consists of only 22 articles, with no appendices or tables, and five joint declarations. Among these general provisions, there are several interventions that have been specified in the other two contracts, such as trade union prerogatives, disposal of vacation days or legal assistance in case of aggression.
Now, the text of the CCNL Hypothesis will be submitted to the Sector Committee, the MEF, the Council of Ministers and, finally, to the combined section of the Court of Auditors each of which will have to express a favorable opinion on the text of the Hypothesis, any observations and certifications regarding the suitability of costs, the procedures which are expected not to take 116 days, as in 2024, which is unlike the 197 days in the same year related to the management of the PTA, but is nevertheless an imposition. from what is determined by law (article 47, paragraphs 4 and 5, Legislative Decree 165/2001).
