JobsAcademy Italia faces crisis over unpaid workers

The JobsAcademy Italia Foundation, located in San Paolo d’Argon and Milan, is facing a significant labor crisis. Workers, including trainers and administrative staff, have reportedly not received salaries for approximately ten months, while independent contractors have faced unpaid invoices dating back to 2024.

Representatives from the CGIL Lombardia union met with the Regional Minister for Education, Simona Tironi, to discuss the situation. The union has stated that the resumption of lessons for the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 academic years is contingent upon the full payment of all outstanding wages and invoices.

Lombardy Region officials noted that the foundation is navigating complex legal and administrative challenges. Specifically, various creditors have placed seizures on the foundation’s credits, making it difficult to determine the exact amount available to pay workers under civil code regulations.
