Unions and employers Tuesday open new negotiations on supplementary pensions, with the need to reach an agreement to save the AGIRC ARRCO of impending shipwreck, or risk having to reduce pensions.
The equation is simple. If the employers and trade unions, managers Agirc (frames) and Arrco (all private sector employees) fail to develop by the end of June ways out red both regimes, which contribute more to 18 million people (12 million beneficiaries), “in 2018, we lower the pensions of officials”, prevent the negotiators.
The arrival of generations after the war at the age of retirement inflates spending, while the economic crisis with high unemployment weighs on revenue, reducing the payroll tax revenue.
The supplementary pension accounts for nearly 60% of retired cadres
The reserves accumulated by the two regimes during the boom years are melting rapidly to offset the deficits. To the point that if nothing is done, those Agirc could be exhausted in 2018, those of Arrco in 2027.
However, the supplementary pension represents approximately 60% of the total retirement executives, one-third that of non-executives.
If the employers and the unions agree for years to adjust the settings to the economic situation, the task is much more difficult this year look deficits (1.24 billion for Agirc in 2013, 405 million Arrco) and the drying up of reserves.
“The fierce urgency is to find a solution for Agirc “says Jean-Louis Malys, CFDT negotiator.
” The goal is not necessarily that in 2018 there is a zero deficit in Agirc like Arrco. We must take measures to repel the exhaustion threshold reserves Agirc around 2020-2025. After there will be a steering system of regular meetings, “adds his counterpart of the CFE-CGC, Serge Lavagna.
What can be done?
The social partners have a range of tools with very different implications.
Given the situation of managers, they need to look at what pays the most, and short-term. And the biggest gains arising in particular from a starting age of decline, “the Scarecrow” agitated by the MEDEF, in the words of a trade unionist.
To impose temporary or permanent discounts to assets that would retire before a certain age, which could be 67, is the other main card shot by the MEDEF.
“There will be no able age or discount, “retorts the CGT for which the balance is to be sought in increases in contributions Agirc and in alignment with the gender pay. Many tracks that will be scanned by employers on the grounds that they increase the cost of the work.
In between the unions, FO, CFDT, CFE-CGC and CFTC leaning towards a plume measurements but with “balanced effort”.
The CFE-CGC is particularly obliged to make concessions. If she wants to find allies to prevent the merger of the AGIRC ARRCO schemes, means “disappearance gradually the collegiate representation frameworks”, it will “look at all options,” while setting like other unions , red lines.
“No way to reduce pension rights” to FO
FO, “there is no question that reduce rights retirement “, nor to touch the age limits for the subject under the general system, and therefore the law, not the social partners.
Survivors’ pensions” are a possible track sensitive “, but it” is not about to serve as pilot fish “in the general plan,” you can expect the Fragonard report “on pensions and family benefits, says Patrick Poizat (CFTC).
But “whatever measures will be remembered, it will piss all segments of the population,” predicted a negotiator.
And the pressure is even greater than “weighs the risk the government resumes hand if we are not able to reach an agreement, “he feared.
