introduced on this subject. The agreement allows personnel who earn no more than a specific threshold
to benefit from tax exemptions established for the 2011 tax year.
In accordance with current legislative provisions regarding company transfers, Telecom Italia S.p.A.
involved the trade union representatives in both procedures carried out during the year, which ended
with positive joint assessments:
• the first, which took place in May, is related to the transfer, by means of the partial demerger of
Matrix S.p.A., of its branch of activity called "Market & Technology Captive" to Telecom Italia S.p.A..
The company and trade unions signed a specific agreement to harmonize contract work conditions
for all workers who joined Telecom Italia S.p.A. after October 1, 2011;
• the second, which was completed in September, relates to all employees of the company TI Audit &
Compliance Services S.C. a r.l. which, following the merger by incorporation, have been transferred
without interruption to Telecom Italia S.p.A. starting from January 1, 2012.
In accordance with the agreements reached with the workers’ representatives in the context of the
framework agreement of August 4, 2010 for the management of surplus staff at Telecom Italia S.p.A., on
July 27, 2011 an additional 2-year extension of the ”defensive” solidarity contract was agreed between
the Company and the trade unions. This will be applied until August 31, 2013 to employees working in
the Directory Assistance sector of the Company (12.54, directory data assurance, call centres,
international services centre, local support). The workers affected will be partially reimbursed by INPS for
the money lost as a result of the reduction in working hours.
In April, the industry's main trade unions (SLC-CGIL, FISTel-CISL and UILCom-UIL) discussed an
agreement regarding the initiatives launched respectively by Pathnet S.p.A. and Telecom Italia Sparkle
S.p.A. to provide employees with an opportunity to register, for the 2010-2011 academic year, for one of
the degree courses run by the faculties of Law, Economics, Engineering, Communication Science,
Psychology and Arts of the Uninettuno International Telematic University.
Telecom Italia Media
During the year, discussions with the union of journalists, which are still under way, focused primarily on
a more detailed examination of the specific regulatory aspects of the national labour agreement for
journalists and the second level agreements.
On December 21, 2011, an agreement was signed with the trade union representatives of Telecom
Italia Media, SLC CGIL, UILCOM UIL and FISTEL CISL, both national and local, which provides for the
renewal of the union agreement for raising the overall limit set by the law as the maximum length of
temporary employment contracts according to article 5, paragraph 4-bis, of legislative decree no. 368 of
September 6, 2001, as amended by law 133/2008. This limit was raised from 36 to 63 months in total.
The agreement also governs certain aspects of fixed term and permanent employment contracts and
various issues relating to employment discipline.
As regards relations with unions other than those representing journalists, on May 20, 2011 the
companies Telecom Italia Media S.p.A. and Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting S.r.l. jointly signed an
agreement with the national and local trade union representatives and the company's workers’
representatives relating to the methods for electing and running trade union representatives and
workers' safety representatives. On the same day, an agreement was also signed between the company
Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting S.r.l. and the national and local trade union representatives which,
considering the strongly improved results achieved by the company, values the contribution made by
workers to supporting the overall growth of the company, which has been significant over the past year.
Finally we report that the renewed national collective labour agreement for the employees of private
radio and television companies was signed on February 16, 2011.
