The trade unions have signed a new national collective agreement for the banking sector (320,000 workers) that raises workers' salaries and will add at least 16,500 jobs to the sector in the next three years. The deal foresees an increase of the monthly salaries of €170 over 3 years, receiving a €50 euro increase in 2012, €50 increase in 2013 and the final €70 hike in 2014. At the moment, cooperative bank workers, who are not covered by this agreement, are negotiating their own national agreement.
