Enel reached an agreement with national unions to hire 1,000 new workers at its power‑distribution arm, E‑Distribuzione, resolving a two‑year labor dispute. The deal addresses staffing shortages, shift organization, and operational issues that unions had long criticized. Workers must still vote to approve the agreement, which also commits Enel to reopening broader negotiations on network management, concessions, and investment plans. The hiring plan marks a significant concession after months of worker mobilization.
