Italy: Enel boosts parental leave policy and plans recruitment for distribution network

Enel, the Italian state-controlled energy group, has signed two agreements in quick succession with the Filctem-Cgil, Flaei-Cisl and Uiltec trade unions. The first of those deals, applicable at group level, improves the parental leave policy, particularly as regards pay. The other agreement meanwhile seeks to bolster staff numbers at Enel's electricity distribution subsidiary at a time when huge investments are planned in the electricity network.
