TRENTO. Trentino workers in the Local Autonomy system are the lowest paid among their South Tyrolean colleagues and the average of all Italian special autonomies. This emerges from a recent Ispat survey that analyses the sector by comparing it with the rest of Italy.
Looking at the pay slips – underlines the Cgil of Trentino in a note – so that the average salary in our province, in 2022, was 34,806 thousand euros gross per year against the 42,743 of Alto Adige.
The average salary of the special statute regions stands at 37,074 euros. “Figures that confirm what we continue to say, that is, that workers in the Trentino public system have lower salaries,” underlines the general secretary of the Cgil Civil Service Luigi Diaspro, emphasizing that the 2022/24 renewal will certainly not reduce this gap.
“A contract that stopped at +7.88% increase compared to an IPCA (therefore inflation adjusted for energy costs) that in the three-year period was 15.4% does not fill these differences and does not fully enhance the sector by restoring its attractiveness”. The protocol of June 24, therefore, in reality makes workers poorer because, in fact, it certifies a loss of purchasing power of the salaries of Trentino public employees of 8% compared to the IPCA index alone.
A contradiction in terms with the commitment made by the provincial council to put the wage emergency at the center of government actions. The high inflation of recent years and the asphyxiating wage dynamics have led to a real impoverishment of Trentino families. President Fugatti has taken note of this, but has not acted accordingly and, faced with a provincial adjustment law that moves more than a billion euros, has not allocated the resources necessary to strengthen the purchasing power of public employees’ wages first and foremost, but has also sent a very clear signal to the private sectors. Beyond the many words spent”, concludes the note.
