Overview
- The agreement, signed at ARAN, covers about 137,000 managers, including roughly 120,000 doctors and 17,000 non‑medical health executives.
- Total resources of €1.2 billion fund an average 7.27% pay rise, translating to roughly €491 per month across 13 paychecks and average back pay of about €6,500.
- Most unions endorsed the contract, while CGIL and Fassid withheld their signatures, with CGIL announcing a category strike for December 12.
- Public Administration Minister Paolo Zangrillo hailed the pact as strengthening purchasing power, with pay increases expected to reach paychecks only after the definitive signing and verification steps.
- The renewal covers 2022–2024 and is described by negotiators as a bridge toward the 2025–2027 bargaining cycle, with unions citing provisions for younger doctors, career flexibility, and extra emergency-room compensation.
