Pensions: “The government is doing everything to meet the bosses” – The Obs

Pensions: "The government is doing everything to meet the bosses" – The Obs

The leakage around the report of the Court of Auditors on the future of supplementary pensions prepared the ground. It was enough that the debate over racing. In response to the door ajar by the Court, François Rebsamen announced Tuesday that “if necessary”, the government would extend the contribution period for a full pension.

A declaration made at the moment when there was a meeting of the Board of Retirement Guidance. The gentleman Retreats Workers Power, Philippe Pihet, came out of this meeting when he discovered the announcement the Minister of Labour:

François Rebsamen gives the provocation. The government continues to strive to meet the demands of big business! “


No new reforms by 2017

In February, the social partners must open negotiations on pensions complementary. The discussions between employers and unions on finding solutions for financing looks tight. Following about his Labour Minister Manuel Valls has also tried to put out the wick. In the evening Tuesday Matignon said that “François Rebsamen has only to recall the philosophy of reform Ayrault” And tried to reassure her.

It is not about to start work, develop road, to launch a new pension reform, or a change in the contribution period, or what parameter pensions than anything else. ”

Enough to convince Carole Couvert, President of the CFE-CGC? It shares the view that the ads the Minister of Labour about the basic plan are “premature” and “likely to cause confusion”:

It is important not to put oil on the fire . “

The coaching union prepares to have to take” courageous decisions “but calls for” equitably distributed efforts. “He refuses any prospect of such merger supplementary pension schemes ARRCO and AGIRC.

The alarm of the Court of Auditors

A deficit of 4.4 billion euros in 2013 to 5.3 billion in 2014: the supplementary pension hole (Agirc and Arrco) is widening. The Court of Auditors anticipates 15 billion in 2040. The cumulative deficit would reach 100 billion euros.

Alarming figures released before the official presentation of the report of the Court accounts, Thursday, Dec. 18 One way to prepare the minds of the recommendations of the Court, which features three main tracks:

– the two-year decline in the retirement age at retirement,

– the reduction in pensions,

-. the increased level of contributions

François Rebsamen is careful not to mention the retirement age to retirement “but the legal age, it no longer useless,” Philippe Pihet FO storm reminded that from the generation born in 1973, it will already have paid 43 years to qualify for a full pension “So what it means is that it goes to 45?” And he explains that from the generation born in 1974, employees begin to average validate four quarters per year from 24 years:

Over 43 years of contributions, this is a retirement at age 67. It’s crazy. “


Dealing with the first unemployment

An announcement all the more shocking for FO in the context of current unemployment, a large proportion of employees being outside the labor market on reaching the age of retirement. Philippe Pihet calls him to “put some resources into the system.” The question, he said, “sharing the wealth.” To balance the diets he considers it necessary 0.4 GDP, ie € 8 billion:

What is it, compared to 90 billion gift tax to companies? “

He therefore advocates a share of additional assessment, using the example of a gross salary of 2,000 euros on which the addition of a point of contribution is 8 euros less per month for the employee and an additional cost of 12 euros for the employer. “For six billion for supplementary pensions”

For now, the CFE-CGC refuses to engage in this debate. Carole Couvert ensures that unemployment plays a large part in the current deficit:

I’d rather François Rebsamen make proposals for an ecosystem that recreates employment. If we reverse the unemployment curve, rule much of the problem. “
