“Deputies voted to postpone implementation of pension reform”on its part is CGT eligible, bearing that in mind “The government has rejected all amendments aimed at blocking the implementation of reforms for all generations, unfortunately those 64 years remain in law”. Thus, the highly controversial provisions of the reform, adopted in 2023 with forceps, “will apply to the generation born in 1969”deplored the Montreuil power plant in a press release.
“Other reforms are possible”CFDT argued, “reform that respects the financial limitations of the pay-as-you-go system (…) while addressing the inequalities that exist in the current regime: the failure to take into account the difficult factors that harm the body, the injustices that occur against women, the punishment of employees whose careers are damaged or those who have double pensions. »
The union is supportive “à la carte pensions, which will give more freedom to employees and public sector agents and guarantee greater fairness”.
For its part, CGT “will continue to fight until the pension reform is repealed and will make proposals to finance the return of the retirement age to 60”.
