SNAMI union medical labor disputes in Italy

Overview

The SNAMI union has been advocating for structural reforms in Italian general medicine, specifically calling for the abolition of the ‘single role’ (ruolo unico) and the introduction of university specialization for practitioners. The union has also opposed recent agreements by other organizations that mandate presence in Community Houses, arguing such terms grant health authorities excessive discretion.

In the Emilia-Romagna region, the dispute has escalated into a declared state of agitation for contracted general practitioners. SNAMI has requested legal conciliation procedures following the implementation of a Regional Integrative Agreement that the union did not sign. Grievances include heavy working hours—specifically requirements for teams to cover 10 to 12 hours daily—and unpaid fees for services rendered in Community Houses dating back to 2022.
