Sébastien Lecornu ready to improve women’s retirement

On this day of mobilization, at the call of all unions, Sébastien Lecornu makes a gesture in favor of the retirement of women … What is it?

In the letter he sent to the social partners on September 29, Sébastien Lecornu promises measures to improve the retirement of women in the social security budget project. He does not specify which but however refers to the arrangements discussed during the “conclave” on pensions, which ended last June with a failure.

The draft agreement provided that the women’s pension was calculated over the best 24 years of their careers when they had a child, and out of the 23 best for those having had two or more, while today, for the calculation, we are based on the best 25 years, at least in the private sector. According to the unions, taking the 23 or 24 best years would enhance pensions from 10 to 100 euros per month.

Anticipated departures, age of the discount … the other tracks

The conclave had also mentioned the idea of ​​facilitating retirement early departures for long career women by giving them two additional quarters of contributions when they raised children. Last idea finally, the age of the discount. Currently, people with chopped careers, who have not contributed enough, must reach 67 years to receive their full -rate pension. During the conclave, he was planned to bring this age to 66 and a half, to be able to leave 6 months earlier without a discount. What help women, first affected by these chopped careers, insofar as they often stop their careers to raise children

Sensitized unions, others in rejection

You have to see what will be, in Finé, in the bill, but yes, CDFT and CFTC, which have defended their priority, are sensitive to these advances. On the other hand, at the CGT, Sophie Binet immediately affixed an end of inadmissibility to this letter deemed completely “out of topic”. The CGT requests the abrogation of the reform of 2023, a point that’s all.

But Sébastien Lecornu mainly heals the reformist unions, CFDT in mind, how to tell them that they were right to participate in the conclave since these improvements result from it, when we remember, that the CGT had slammed the door. In hollow, the Prime Minister therefore encourages the CFDT to dialogue with him and thus seeks to fracture the union front which parades united on October 2 everywhere in France.
