Overview
- ARAN confirmed the definitive signing on Oct. 27, with Nursind, Nursing Up and allied federations backing the deal as FP Cgil and Uil Fpl declined to sign.
- The renewal covers roughly 581,000 national health service workers and delivers average gross increases of about €150–€172 per month over 13 payments.
- New measures include an Emergency Room indemnity up to €250 monthly, free legal protection for workers assaulted on duty, night-work exemptions for employees over 60, €50 per hour for additional services, and up to €1,500 for extra assignments.
- The pact expands flexible schedules and career access with a four‑day, 36‑hour week option, meal vouchers during remote work, broader entry to the high‑qualification area, and a new assistant nurse role.
- Cgil and Uil argue the rises trail inflation—FP Cgil cites 16.5% price growth versus a 5.78% wage increase—while supporters frame the deal as a foundation for the 2025–2027 round, with back pay and raises slated for November paychecks.
