The U2P slams the door of consultations | EUROtoday

The negotiation between social companions on pensions is taking water. Tuesday, March 18, the Union of Local Companies (U2P) introduced that it was leaving the discussions initiated for lower than three weeks on this challenge. Completely sudden, the choice of the employers’ group, which represents merchants, craftsmen and liberal professions, is justified by the need to contribute “To a general awareness”. The motion chaired by Michel Picon considers, in substance, that it isn’t severe to proceed a cycle of talks which maintains the speculation of bringing again from 64 to 63 or 62 years the age of opening rights to a pension – a precedence declare for unions. After this departure, which is added to that of Force Ouvrière from the beginning of the exchanges, on February 27, there are solely six employers and workers across the desk.

In the assertion she launched on Tuesday morning, the U2P highlights the context. France is making ready to extend spending in favor of its rearmament whereas public accounts are very degraded and the pension system ought to develop into in deficit from 2025, with a “hole” which might be regularly widening, reaching 14 billion to fifteen billion euros in 2035. Consequently, “Drastic measures must be taken to restore the balance of our social regimes”underlines the motion of protection of small companies, which pleads, specifically, for a postponement of the age of opening rights to a pension “Beyond 64 years”the terminal which had been fastened by the reform of April 14, 2023. Such a prospect can’t be accepted by the representatives of the staff, it seems to be useless, within the spirit of the U2P, to proceed to take part within the present negotiations.
