Social partners in the clothing and fashion industries signed an agreement to renew their national collective agreement, which will apply to some 46,000 companies and 400,000 employees. The agreement, signed by the employers’ organisation SMI and the Filctem-Cgil, Femca-Cisl and Uiltec trade unions, provides for an average salary increase of €74. This increase will be delivered in three tranches, starting with €20 (1 April 2022), followed by €25 (1 January 2023), and concluding with €27 (1 April 2023). These increases will go unchallenged, even if inflation turns out to be lower than forecast over the period concerned. In addition, as of 1 January 2023, companies will contribute €2 per employee to a new insurance scheme catering for age- related loss of autonomy.
