The Municipality of Cagliari is spending half a million euros to increase the fringe benefits of municipal employees: a pay raise while waiting for the Regional Council to pass the law on the single sector, which will equalize the salaries of local government workers to those of regional governments, currently "the worst in the public sector," emphasizes Mayor Massimo Zedda.

The administration, according to a statement, "is allocating €500,000 more than in 2024 for municipal employees. This is done by increasing the resources allocated annually to staff fringe benefits. This council clearly intends and commits," the mayor adds, "to ensuring corporate well-being and, in the future, thanks to discussions on the single regional sector, better compensation. The local government contract, in terms of pay, is the worst in the public sector."

In the coming weeks , the selection process for the first calls for applications, published between late July and early August, will begin, "also to address the dramatic staff shortage (we've lost several hundred employees in just a few years). Thanks to the new hires, we will employ 350 more people on permanent contracts."
