The new round of consultations on the pension reform, announced last week by the government, will be launched on Wednesday afternoon, Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt announced on Monday.
“As indicated by the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, I will receive the social partners to open consultations regarding the pension reform. This first consultation meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 5 at 2:30 p.m.”, declared Olivier Dussopt.
“On this occasion, I will present to the union and employer organizations the schedule, method and objectives of the reform, with a view to passing a bill by the end of winter 2023,” he added.
Entry into force in the summer of 2023
The organizations that were invited to the Ministry of Labor for this meeting in the Agreements Room are the Medef, the CPME and the U2P on behalf of the employers, as well as the unions CFDT, CGT, FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC, UNSA, FSU and FNSEA.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne had indicated on Thursday that said consultation would begin “from next week” with the social partners, with a view to a bill that must be approved “before the end of winter”, which allows the entry into force in the summer of 2023 of a reform that provides for the “progressive postponement of the retirement age by four months a year, culminating in 65 years of age in 2031”.
