Rulemaking ‑ Company-level Bargaining
Becoming increasingly the most important level
1970s shop stewards (delegati) emerged and joined together into factory councils (consigli)
Consigli conduct local negotiations
Now supplanted by RSU
Which is now elected by all workers regardless of union status
However unions that sign company-level agreements have right to appoint some members (BLW)
RSU conducts work-place level negotiations and has rights to receive information and to consultation on certain issues
