Public service federations FP-CGIL, CISL-FP, UIL-Fp and UIL-Pa have concluded an agreement with the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The agreement commits both parties to cooperate in the reorganisation of the civil service in order to cut expenditure where possible. Important for the trade unions is that the agreement specifically includes their consultation in all reorganisations.
