The executive relaunches the pension project. The social partners have an appointment this Monday morning at the Ministry of Labor to make a diagnosis on this burning issue, a few days after the publication of the report by the Pension Orientation Council (COR).
As for the method, Emmanuel Macron is willing to do anything to launch a reform quickly, even taking measures by amendment, within the framework of the Social Security financing bill. Objective: to get the French to work longer.
In his presidential project, the outgoing candidate advocated increasing the legal exit age from 62 to 65 years. But the government now seems willing to compromise. The idea of speeding up Touraine’s reform by increasing the listing period to 43 years faster than expected is at the heart of the discussions.
To prevent some from retiring earlier, at a discount, the executive could also raise the legal retirement age, no longer to 65 or 64 as previously mentioned, but to 63. . A level close to the effective retirement age, which today stands at 62 years and 9 months for workers in the private sector.
Unions are up in arms
It is not enough to convince the unions that have opposed these measures and promise mobilizations in the event of the government’s forced passage.
“(If) there is an amendment in the PLFSS on pensions, the CFDT, de facto, comes out of the CNR (National Council for Refoundation, editor’s note) and debates on all issues,” warned Laurent Berger on France Inter on Sunday.
