Through a long-term perspective, the volume reconstructs the origins as well as the political and organizational evolution of NIdiL Cgil (Nuove Identità di Lavoro - Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro) from its establishment in 1999 to the present day. Utilizing previously unpublished documentation and drawing on the shared memories of trade unionists and key protagonists of this history at both national and local levels, the book analyzes the role played by NIdiL within the union. It examines its part in building representation and protection for atypical workers within the framework of post-Fordist labor transformations, Italian and European labor market reforms, and the major turning points of the contemporary era. Representing a significant innovation in trade unionism, NIdiL has advanced the concept of a confederal union by experimenting with unprecedented forms of protection and collective bargaining.
