Many women will have to decide by July 13 i

The Executive has finally decided to do nothing "release" for the moment. After a final interview with Nicolas Sarkozy Friday, Labour Minister, Eric Woerth, has passed without modification Bill of pension reform to the social security funds and advisory bodies of the public service. These bodies must give their view, purely advisory, before the presentation of the text by the Council of Ministers on 13 July.

The Government had initially said he prepared to make changes to the text, today, in three areas: taking into account of the arduous nature of long careers and the polypensionnés, i.e. insureds who have contributed to several pension plans. Finally, these changes not incorporated during the examination of the text to Parliament, beginning of September.

"Cannot transform the Bill in two days", it is justified Eric Woerth yesterday on Europe 1. No concession, therefore, a few days of the strike and demonstrations Thursday day (read below). "The Government has understood that minor changes would not weaken the mobilization, estimated a trade unionist. Tactically, this would be him pointless to release something today. He prefers to keep a margin of manoeuvre for the suite.

A book of health of the employee

The Minister said, yesterday, to "go further in thinking" on the arduousness to see "if it can lead to an improvement of the text", "for the future." The Bill provides for the establishment of a health record of the employee, in which exposures to risks such as the wearing of heavy loads, vibration or carcinogenic substances will be traced. This is for the future. But for employees who leave the currently retired, the Minister has closed the door to any consideration of these risk factors when they cause no "physical problems" that are "verifiable". "In the State of Medicine of the work, it is not to do so", he argued. It is a point of serious disagreement with the unions, which point out that many risks affect health long after retirement.

A review of the text, the unions also were very critical on the way will be removed a benefit specific to public service, the possibility for the mothers of three children to retire after 15 years of service. The principle of the abolition of this device to January 1, 2012 was announced, but the modalities of its implementation could lead to a lifting of shields. In its current version, the Bill clarifies that the rules for the calculation of the pension for women will be those of the common law for any request submitted after July 13, 2010 retirement and not those that were in effect at the time when they have completed the two conditions.

"To decide in a few days."

"Example of a woman born in 1956, who had three children and 15 years of service in 1999, but that is not yet party to retirement, explains Brigitte Jumel (CFDT)." So far, his pension was calculated with the rules in force at the time where she had the right to leave, in this case in 1999. "Now, it takes into account the rules in force at the start." Less favourable rules, because they incorporate the 2003 reform, which increases the period of assessment and introduces a haircut. "The Government brutally cut access to this device, regrets it as Anne Baltazar (TF).". Many women will have to decide by July 13, i.e. in days, if they seek to liquidate their retirement, whereas the law is not yet passed.
