CISL
Confederazione Italiana Sindacati Lavoratori
Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions
Formed in 1950 following a split from the CGIL, the CISL promotes a participatory model of industrial relations that emphasizes negotiation, social dialogue, and second-level bargaining at company or territorial level. It is particularly active in public administration, healthcare, and education, and generally adopts a more reformist stance than the CGIL in national labor disputes.
