Renewed Agreement for Domestic Work: A Step Forward for Rights and Dignity
The recent update of the National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL) marks a crucial moment for the domestic work sector in Italy, offering new prospects for housekeepers, caregivers, babysitters, and other professionals engaged in supporting family life.
This agreement, the result of collaboration between the Italian Federation of Domestic Employers (FIDALDO), DOMINA, and the main trade unions, including Filcams-CGIL, Fisascat-CISL, UILTuCS and Federcolf, extends its application to a wide range of workers, both Italian and foreign, guaranteeing them greater protections and recognizing their fundamental contribution to the well-being of Italian families.
At the heart of the agreement is the commitment to regulate in a fair and uniform manner across the national territory the working conditions of those who operate daily in our homes, respecting the specificities of a work relationship that is distinguished by its intimacy and centrality in family life. The text also confirms the importance of adhering to existing regulations on au pair placements, strengthening the protection of those who dedicate themselves with commitment and professionalism to family assistance.
This revision of the CCNL represents an important step forward towards the recognition of domestic work as an essential component of the country's social and labor fabric, promoting dignified working conditions and supporting the rights of a segment of the workforce that is often invisible. With the introduction of new regulations and the confirmation of key principles, the agreement aims to create a fairer and safer work environment for all domestic workers in Italy.
