Trade Unions Filcams-Cgil, Fisascat-Cisl, and Uiltucs have declared a state of agitation for workers in special pharmacies demanding the renewal of their contract that expired on December 31, 2024. This pertains to over 6,000 employees of businesses managed or participated by Local Entities, including pharmacies, parapharmacies, pharmaceutical warehouses, and laboratories.
According to the unions, discussions with Assofarm have not yielded satisfactory results. The association’s proposal was deemed insufficient on both economic and regulatory grounds and unrelated to the demands contained in the joint claim platform.
With the declaration of the state of agitation, the trade unions have requested the activation of the cooling off and conciliation procedure provided by current legislation. Additionally, a meeting of the joint national coordination of Filcams-Cgil, Fisascat-Cisl, and Uiltucs is scheduled for April 24, 2026, to assess the progress of the dispute and define mobilization initiatives.
