For the CFDT it is a definitive no: the first French union has assured that it will mobilize in the event that the legal retirement age is postponed to 64 or 65 years, as provided by the Government in its pension reform. Such a measure would be “brutal” and “unfair”, the deputy general secretary of the CFDT, Marylise Léon, confirmed this Tuesday night in BFM Business. Elisabeth Borne received the leaders of the trade union organizations in Matignon on Tuesday before the presentation of the reform scheduled for next week.

Would the CFDT be willing to accept a lowering of the legal age in exchange for measures on hardship or long careers? “I will be very clear: the answer is no,” said the union leader, closing the door to any inflection of the CFDT on the subject. The employment of the elderly or the recognition of hardship are “extremely important” issues that “cannot be just adjustments that the government would grant because it is taking an extremely brutal measure,” he stressed, insisting that the “heart of the matter” was still being the legal age.
For Marylise Léon, “it will be good to have all the adaptation measures so that those who start working early cannot leave at 65”, the postponement of the legal age of departure is “first of all an extremely brutal measure”.
