Unions are pressing on pensions, so that the reform site will immediately reopen, before the stop at Quota 100 at the end of the year, defining new flexibility in exit from the age of 62 or with 41 years of contributions regardless of age. Issue on which CGIL, CISL and UIL insist on starting a discussion with the Minister of Labor and Social Policies, Andrea Orlando, and launch the initiative "Change pensions now", scheduled today with the general secretaries Maurizio Landini , Luigi Sbarra and Pierpaolo Bombardieri. In the meantime, they are awaiting a call from Prime Minister Mario Draghi on the Recovery plan, requested last week by the secretaries-general themselves, claiming the "strategic importance" of the PNRR but judging it "inadequate"the discussion so far with the Government on the definition of the priorities, objectives and resources of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
A tool considered "fundamental" for the revival of the country, to increase employment, starting with young people and women, and to reduce territorial gaps, according to the trade unions which also claim a role in governance. At the center the reforms, which will have "a direct impact" on work, on which they ask for an indication of the repercussions. While the discussion on the reform of social safety nets continues, on which in the afternoon a new table of the social partners with Orlando is scheduled, this time dedicated to management methods, after the part relating to the perimeter and definition of the universal instrument for the protection of workers seek a synthesis between the different positions.
On the welfare front, the unions are therefore asking the government to open a table as soon as possible. At the end of the year, the three-year trial of Quota 100 ends, the possibility of early exit with at least 62 years of age and 38 years of contributions, and retirement at 67 will return to the main path, unless you are 42 years old and 10 months of contributions (41 years and 10 months for female workers).
With the fear on the so-called "staircase". CGIL, CISL and UIL relaunch the unitary platform and ask to overcome the Fornero law starting from 2022, to introduce flexibility on leaving from 62 years of age or with 41 years of contributions regardless of age, to recognize the different severity of jobs and also the work of caring for women, the biggest victims of the tightening of pension requirements in recent years; to provide a guarantee pension for young people, to support the income of retirees and extend the 14th, to relaunch supplementary pensions.
