Since 2023, whether employees can go into partial retirement has no longer been regulated by collective agreements for municipalities. Several employees in the city of Moosburg now wanted partial retirement, the staff council submitted an application for continuation.
The city council had to decide on this on Monday. Mayor Josef Dollinger: “This is extremely problematic given our financial situation” He calculated that eight semi-retirement places would cost the city 60,000 euros per year in the future. Only two councilors sided with the local leader. Ludwig Kieninger (FW) warned that “there are problems with employees everywhere, be it in administration, in kindergartens, in industry or in the trades’ The work is so bad that you couldn’t keep it up.’ In the end, people are becoming more and more demanding, but they don’T want to do anything anymore,” Karin Linz (CSU) said. “Everyone wants the same prosperity, but wants to contribute less.”
