Usb union labor rights disputes in Italy

Overview

The Unione Sindacale di Base (Usb) union has raised concerns regarding labor conditions and economic stability across various sectors in Italy.

In the healthcare sector, specifically within the Abruzzo and Molise regions, the union has denounced exploitation resulting from public procurement and outsourcing practices. The Usb is demanding reforms to address job insecurity and low wages, including a 30% pay increase for Sunday work, the recognition of time spent donning and doffing uniforms as active working hours, and the internalization of services to prevent forced part-time arrangements.

In Calabria, the union has shifted focus to social inclusion, autonomy, and rehabilitation programs. USB Fed. del Sociale is calling for higher economic allowances for trainees, noting that current stipends of approximately 400 euros are insufficient given the high risk of poverty and social exclusion in the region.
