Public Function
Public Function is a trade union representing public sector workers in Italy.
The union was founded in 1980, when the National State Federation merged with the National Federation of Local Authority and Healthcare Workers, and the Italian Federation of Public Sector Workers. Like all its predecessors, it affiliated to the Italian General Confederation of Labour. By 1998, the union had 348,925 members, of whom 60% worked in public administration, and the remainder in health and social services.
