Italy Signs 2022–2024 Education and Research Contract With Raises and Arrears for 1.28 Million Staff

Officials pledge rapid talks for 2025–2027 next, citing earmarked funds to bolster near‑term payouts.

Overview

  • The CCNL for the Education and Research sector was signed at ARAN on November 5, covering schools, universities, research bodies and Afam for 1,286,000 employees.
  • Average wage increases are about €150 a month for teachers and roughly €110 for ATA staff, with peaks up to €185 for some teachers by seniority and about €240 for researchers and technologists.
  • Retroactive arrears will be paid, with many teachers expected around €1,900–€2,000 and ATA personnel roughly €1,400, according to figures released at signing.
  • Most unions including CISL, UIL, SNALS, Gilda and Anief signed the deal, while FLC CGIL declined, arguing the rises do not offset recent inflation.
  • Government and ARAN called for immediate negotiations on the 2025–2027 contract, highlighting a €240 million ministerial one‑off and €170 million for accessory‑pay tax relief, with officials projecting larger cumulative gains if a follow‑on deal is reached.
