PRESENTAZIONE
The Italian Banking Association presents the twenty-seventh edition of its annual Report on the Labour Market in the Financial Industry.
The volume provides the regular update of comparisons about employment, wages and labour costs at a national and international level and an analysis of the organizational restructuring taking place in some European banking markets.
With regard to the Italian labour market, the report focuses on the various provisions that affected employment and pension regulations in 2019.
For the part traditionally dedicated to union relations, the 2019 edition examines the agreement of 19 December 2019 to renew the collective bargaining contract for managers, middle managers and professional areas of the Italian banks. It also looks at other principal national agreements, the national collective bargaining contract signed for other sectors, and the trend of second-level contracting at banks, including the development of welfare policies in the sector.
This Report was produced by an Italian Banking Association working group considering of the personnel from the the fallowing offices: Welfare and Union Relations, Labour Advisory and Assistance, Business Affairs and Labour Policies, Research and the EBR Observatory.
