Angelo Raffaele Margiotta, Secretary General of Confsal, has initiated several proposals aimed at improving labor conditions in Italy. Initially, the organization focused on wage protections, calling for higher standards in labor contracts to combat ‘pirate contracts’ and prevent hourly wages in sectors like security and services from dropping to 7 or 7.50 euros. Confsal proposed a framework agreement to establish a minimum standard for contractual wages.

Subsequently, the union’s focus expanded to workplace safety. Margiotta argued that current regulations are insufficient and advocated for a shared culture of safety. To improve prevention, Confsal proposed hiring at least 10,000 technical inspectors and creating a single oversight hub to reduce fragmented competencies. The union also requested specific protections for safety supervisors, including insurance coverage and risk-based indemnities.
