Italy Workers' Statute (Law 300/1970)

Italy's Workers' Statute (Law 300/1970), the core limit on an employer's power to watch and discipline staff: monitoring equipment such as CCTV, tracking and call recording only for organisational, safety or asset-protection needs and only after a union agreement or labour inspectorate authorisation, with work tools and attendance systems exempt, and monitoring data usable only after adequate information to workers; no guards supervising work, no health checks, searches or opinion inquiries outside the Act's limits; a posted disciplinary code with a prior charge and hearing; and the union rights every Italian workplace must honour. It comprises 36 controls organised across 4 domains, and applies in Italy.
