tight negotiations are scheduled at the end of August, times are tight for the unions
We are in a crucial phase for the pension reform. The confrontation will in fact resume at the end of August, after a short summer break, with four days of close encounters between government and social partners. The political goal remains to close for September, so from the text in the Council. But, at this point, a lot will depend on how the negotiations go: in the trade union sector there are those who believe that i times they are too tight.
There are many aspects still to be explored. On share 103 – focal point of any such reform – we have already arrived at a ‘lightening’ to the initial setting which provided for deductions for those who paid contributions but did not reach the age of 63. The aim of the trade unions is to avoid penalties. Another question is the state contribution to pension funds. In essence, the idea of public contributions on the economic trend would be overcome. From the trade union sector the exhortation a guarantee of the stability of the funds for at least 30 years. The Government’s willingness to reason would have arrived on the issue, but there are many issues to be addressed from 23 August onwards: the mechanism of solidarity contributionsdiscontinuous careers, workers who have had children, the ransom years of graduation and hard work.
“Some corners have been rounded, but the negotiation is long,” he says Enzo MerliniSecretary General Csdl, which indicates in the holding of funds and in the state contribution two of the “essential” points. For Gianluca Montanari, CDLS general secretary, it is essential to tackle the pension deficit, in order to then complete the supplementary pension project, for example by making the money bear fruit. Third: at an altitude of 103, for Montanari, it is necessary to have “sustainable” disincentives. For theUsl the concept of sustainability is, both from an economic point of view and from that of social protection. The union calls for the standard of living of pensioners to be taken into account and fears that September will be “one deadline too close ” to get to the square. On the business side in recent days, the intervention of Anis who invited to do not penalize companies with the increase in labor costs.
