Can you work as a waiter or waitress until you are 64 years old? The postponement of the retirement age is stirring up the world of hotels and restaurants. “No, I don’t think” it’s possible because “our jobs are still difficult jobs,” star chef Thierry Marx replied on Franceinfo on Thursday morning.
According to Thierry Marx, the hotel and restaurant trades could be included in the hardship criteria that allow early retirement. “Anyway, we will fight for that,” said the president of the Umih. “There are people who have worked, 25 years, 30 years, 40 years in a standing kitchen [et qui] they have musculoskeletal disorders: it must be considered that it is a criterion of hardship, of course, ”he explained.
Vocational training
However, the star chef felt “as a citizen” that a reform of the pension system was necessary, adding that he had questions about the elderly. “We have people who leave earlier, because companies are removing their seniors from their workforce and at the same time we are going to leave them without work for longer. There is real background work to be done”, in particular “in professional training,” he noted.
