In 2004, UIL Monopoly was split up, with members who worked in the private sector transferring to the UILA, while in 2007, the Italian Union of Commerce and Sales Workers merged in. Finally, in 2009, it was joined by the Italian Union of Farm Owners and Tenants. The union's general secretary, Stefano Mantegazza, has been in post since 1995.
