The draft agreement signed on 4 June 2026 by Unionmeccanica Confapi with Fim-Cisl, Fiom-Cgil and Uilm-Uil has passed the certified workers’ ballot, which closed on 23 July 2026. The contratto collettivo nazionale (national collective agreement) runs from 4 June 2026 to 31 December 2028 and covers more than 42,000 companies and over 450,000 employees in small and medium-sized metalworking industry.
On pay, the renewal provides a fully phased-in increase of 200 euro gross at grade 5, with proportional adjustment across the other grades. For employers the impact goes beyond the minimum pay tables: the revision feeds through to the tredicesima (thirteenth monthly salary), the TFR (end-of-service allowance), premium rates and every indirect and deferred entitlement calculated on base pay.
