FINANCING CONFERENCE
At the same time as the text arrives at the Assembly, the “financing conference” will start its work: trade unions (CFDT, CGT, FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC, Unsa) and employers’ organizations (Medef, CPME, U2P, FNSEA ) will meet to start their work Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30 am at the Ministry of Solidarity.
It is up to them to find a way to finance the future pension system, whose deficit is expected to be “12 billion euros per year in 2027”. The problem is that this diagnosis is not shared between government, employers’ and union organizations. The unions, and in particular the CFDT, believe that it is the policies to reduce social security contributions that are behind these forecasts. And encourage, like the CGT or other union organizations, to increase them to increase revenues.
A finding not shared by the government and employers, who do not want to hear about this bias, in which they see “an increase in the cost of labor”, and defend from this point of view a drop in the retirement age.
