Work two years, to collect two years younger. This is the result of "agreement" between the government and the unions CCOO and UGT. At the end anticrisis recipes that called for the reviled president of the CEOE Gerardo Díaz Ferrán, and criticized both unions have now signed the pact have come true: "Work more, to charge less."
statutory retirement age is delayed 67 years. We will have to contribute 37 years to retire at 67 and keep the full pension, which is the demand that made the EU, IMF and major financial resources. If you would like to withdraw at age 65, would which have contributed 38.5 years. That is, if we started working at age 26 or earlier and have done so without interruption and fulltime. In addition to charge less, because the computation for calculating the pension increases of 15 to 25 years. None of those who have agreed to raise the retirement at 67 will have to work three and a half years to retire at 65 with full pension. And that since the trust banking requires a reform that will ensure, according to Emilio Botin, chairman of Santander "the viability of the system and send a signal to markets the sustainability of public finances", collected 21 million euros in pension plan or President of BBVA, Francisco González, who will charge 79.7 million euros thanks to the pension plan for executives of that bank. We can justify
dress as we want or Prada or Dior, but what the PSOE has achieved is that the majority unions agree that the legal age of retirement at age 67 delayed and its amount is reduced considerably. Because the vast majority continue to retire as we do now, but charging less, much has been made except for those rare specimens who can testify 38.5 years of contributions, which are allowed to receive full pension at age 65. We decorate, but The covenant is a brutal cut in the amount and duration of pensions paid the usual, the weakest: the young generation of tomorrow will not be able to retire and now can not work.
Because this amendment does not help create jobs, on the contrary, there will be 500,000 fewer potential jobs for generations to retire at age 67. Also with 20% unemployment in our country, the opportunity to work continuously from 26 years to reach the goal of retirement at 65 is just a fantasy, in the context of insecurity and temporary employment that young people today especially those belonging to lower social classes. 43% of those under 25 years in Spain and work or study. Young people today will go down in history as the first generation to live worse than its biggest since World War II.
addition this agreement provides a real setback as improvement in women's rights. States that women who interrupt their working lives to provide care, time is counted as contributions. It is the "perfect excuse" for women back home. Faced with the struggle of feminism because the reconciliation of work and family life is shared between men and women, incorporating women into employment in a position equality and break the sexual division of labor, return stale tradition of machismo in the form of "benefit" if they return to each to care.
Ultimately, PSOE, CC.OO. and UGT have signed an agreement that substantially cuts, even more, social rights and working conditions of the working class. Not to sit to negotiate until there is a reversal of labor reform, there has been a "grand bargain" with the same executive who has taken the anti-social reforms that we remember in recent years, in the wake of Aznar and conservative governments. Some justify it saying that they feared most other major unions huelga general que a la presión del Gobierno. Especialmente UGT, que recupera así la “justificación moral” de poder pedir el voto a su afiliación para su partido “de referencia” en las cercanas elecciones municipales. Pero se trata de una claudicación, acompañada de una desmovilización desde las direcciones sindicales, que han renunciado, para mejorar sus condiciones de negociación, a la lucha en la calle y que han evitado cualquier proceso de discusión entre las bases.
Parece que atrás quedaron los tiempos en que los sindicatos luchaban en la calle y movilizaban a los trabajadores y trabajadoras para conseguir arrancar mejoras en las condiciones laborales y sociales de la ciudadanía. For years we witnessed the strategy of consent, accepting rebate after rebate basic social rights.
As president of ATTAC poses, this is a historic setback that will have serious consequences on the credibility of trade unions and weaken the ability to respond to future social and political aggression. The acceptance of a negotiated solution wrong, it provides not only a new defeat for all workers and workers but that fosters ideological disarmament of the position of trade unions are beginning to be seen by much of the population as "accomplices "who have consented and contributed to the worst concerns are met.
With this new reform, apart from the big cities that are paving the way how the demand for private pension funds, makes only a government that is legitimized its policies increasingly antisocial. Only the federal coordinator of United Left, Cayo Lara, has been critical since the first assessments of the agreement: "There is no objective reasons for this cut in benefits" is an attack on workers rights.
surprising thing is that Latin American countries that suffered and the neoliberal tsunami disaster in the 70, 80 and 90, which broke all economies to anchoring them in permanent bankruptcy are coming out of it by radically opposed policies: Bolivia has recently resigned from the private pension system after determining that the State is more than it costs to keep the public system, with the addition of the private system does not allow planning of the economy. In 2008, the Argentine government signed a protocol to nationalize private funds "to preserve the rights of workers."
