• Associazione professionale sindacale dirigenti area istruzione e ricerca (Dirigentiscuola) v. Italy - Complaint No. 223/2023 (Italian only -translation in progress)

The complaint was registered on 15 March 2023. It concerns Article E (non-discrimination) in conjunction with Articles 2 (right to just conditions of work), 4 (right to a fair remuneration), 20 (the right to equal opportunities and equal treatment in matters of employment and occupation without discrimination on the grounds of sex), 22 (the right to take part in the determination and improvement of the working conditions and working environment) and 26 (the right of dignity at work) of the revised European Social Charter. Dirigentiscuola alleges that although Article 25 of Decree-Law No. 165/2001 recognises the status of manager for school directors, Italy has still not ensured equal pay for school directors and other State managers of the same rank, in violation of the aforementioned provisions of the Charter.
