The thesis examines the issue of the minimum wage in Italy, questioning whether collective bargaining is sufficient as a tool for wage protection. Starting from Articles 36 and 39 of the Italian Constitution, it reconstructs the constitutional framework of the right to fair remuneration and the role of the social partners, it also analyses the content and implications of EU Directive 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages. Through an examination of case law, the thesis highlights how courts have used collective agreements as a reference parameter, despite their lack of erga omnes effectiveness. The analysis then focuses on the current state of collective bargaining in Italy and explores the national debate on the introduction of a statutory minimum wage, in light of the differing positions taken by the social partners in recent years. Furthermore, the thesis examines Law 144/2025, assessing its content, objectives, and impact on the wage system and labour regulation.
La tesi analizza il tema del salario minimo in Italia, interrogandosi sulla sufficienza della contrattazione collettiva come strumento di tutela retributiva. A partire dagli articoli 36 e 39 della Costituzione, viene ricostruito il quadro costituzionale del diritto alla giusta retribuzione e del ruolo delle parti sociali, esaminando inoltre il contenuto e le implicazioni della Direttiva UE 2022/2041 sui salari minimi adeguati. Attraverso l’analisi della giurisprudenza, si evidenzia come i giudici abbiano utilizzato i contratti collettivi come parametro di riferimento, pur in assenza di efficacia erga omnes. La tesi si sofferma poi sullo stato di salute della contrattazione collettiva in Italia e approfondisce il dibattito sull’introduzione di un salario minimo legale, alla luce delle diverse posizioni delle parti sociali emerse negli ultimi anni. Inoltre, viene esaminata la legge 144/2025, valutandone il contenuto, le finalità e l’impatto sul sistema retributivo e sulla disciplina del lavoro.

Abstract
The thesis examines the issue of the minimum wage in Italy, questioning whether collective bargaining is sufficient as a tool for wage protection. Starting from Articles 36 and 39 of the Italian Constitution, it reconstructs the constitutional framework of the right to fair remuneration and the role of the social partners, it also analyses the content and implications of EU Directive 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages. Through an examination of case law, the thesis highlights how courts have used collective agreements as a reference parameter, despite their lack of erga omnes effectiveness. The analysis then focuses on the current state of collective bargaining in Italy and explores the national debate on the introduction of a statutory minimum wage, in light of the differing positions taken by the social partners in recent years. Furthermore, the thesis examines Law 144/2025, assessing its content, objectives, and impact on the wage system and labour regulation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
