Left out cases already assumed in the decision, those relating to inalienable rights, causes of labor and social security funds. The conversion law extends that right to those cases involving the rights they have in the collective bargaining agreement the exclusive source. However, the legislature limits the exercise of such a power only to those cases in which the contract has provided for and regulated this type of settlement by arbitration. As for disputes with a value not exceeding the € 50,000, which is part of a PA, it is expected the tacit consent of the latter, without the express written dissent to be made ​​within thirty days of the request articulated by the private party.
