After months of negotiations the national collective agreement for the metal industry - which expired at the end of 2019 - was renewed on 5 February. A draft agreement has been reached by Federmeccanica and Assistal on the employer side and the Fim, Fiom and Uilm on the union side, though it is yet to be submitted to workers.
