After a brief assessment of the crisis of industrial relations' system, explaining the genesis of the new rules on representation at firm level, the contribution analyses the main changes in the regulation of RSUs by the trio of agreements 2011/2013/2014 (repeal of the so-called one third reserved and the rule of "turning one's coat"). The A. believes that the new RSU is more clearly characterised in the sense of an institutional representative body of all the workers founded on a democratic base, but highlights how the rules coming from the agreements show strong limits of consistency and efficiency, which could be overcome only by a new law reforming Article 19 of Workers' Statute.
