“Industrial relations in the commerce sector:
analysis of organizational models and tools
developed by European social partners and
national member states to guarantee more
opportunities for workers and companies”.
European Commission
Social Dialogue, Industrial Relations
Budget Heading: 04.03.03.01

How the project began
In Italy, the most important distribution and service union organizations
in the tertiary sector are:
•FILCAMS – CGIL
•FISASCAT – CISL
for workers
•UilTuCS – UIL
and Confcommercio for employers.
They are the subject to sign the Collective Contract.
Even at the regional level the representation structure mirrors those at
the national level. They are the organizations which manage R. I. at
local level.
The summarized image of the diffusion of territorial agreements is best
represented by classic leopard spots. (The commerce sector is
fragmented, and poorly unionized).

How the project began
In Umbria, as in many Italian regions, industrial relations are still very
limited, even today.
The social partners have clashed or, on the contrary, have found
common ground on specific issues:
- training,
- the regulation of the labour market(social partners– institutions);
- labour disputes,
- industrial relations in individual production units.
The lack of awareness about industrial relations processes may have
contributed to the lack of knowledge among workers and businesses
about the contract of reference, resulting in the loss of
opportunities offered by the collective contract
Bilateralism is favouring a boost in industrial relations, leading to
greater knowledge about the contract.

The aims of the project
From this standpoint, the need arised to:
learn about industrial relation models of other
European countries and the vision of
Eurocommerce and Uni Europa.
Identify other models of bilateralism.
5
The aims of the project
 Explore 5 themes we believe to be of particular
interest to both businesses and workers:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
employment contracts that facilitate entry into the
world of work and provide training to increase the
skills of workers;
reconciling work and family;
managerial models with the participation of workers
and retribution systems tied to productivity;
income support for both workers and businesses;
workplace safety.
6
Objective
Prepare a guide about good practices
related to I.R.
- legislative framework of reference;
- the model that the social partners have
developed within the collective
contract.
7
Methods
In relation to the five themes:
 the role of and the actions of the social
partners in defining and developing the
themes.
Legislative framework of reference (there
may not be a regulation of reference). What is
interesting to note is the added value
contributed by the social partners.
8
Expectations
We are confident that an increased awareness about these
themes will allow them to:
- Increase skills;
- improve and develop industrial relations;
- promote greater knowledge of the Collective Contract
with businesses and workers, presenting it as an
opportunity rather than an additional regulatory
requirement;
- promote fair competition between operators and
facilitate the economic and social development of
the tertiary sector.
