The CGT will participate Thursday in the launch of the pension reform financing conference to "explain how to improve (the) current system", said the secretary general of the confederation, Philippe Martinez, Tuesday on Franceinfo.
"We participate, all the places where we can say how to improve our current system, we are there (...). We will explain how to improve our current system, "repeated Philippe Martinez, whose union advocates" higher wages "and" more contributions "for the current organization of pensions.
"Complicated to know how it will happen"
According to the head of the CGT, "it's very complicated to know how will happen" this conference, which is due to start Thursday at the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (Cese), in Paris. "We just have a meeting on Thursday at Cese. How will it be, who will be there? We don't know, ”added Philippe Martinez.
But "how can we think about financing if we do not know the modalities of arduousness", which will "normally cost money", he criticized, judging that "government reform is not neither simple nor fair ”.
A reform "baclée", "incomplete", "unfunded"
“The Council of State makes the same analysis as the CGT by saying (that) this reform is sloppy, incomplete, unfunded. What is serious is that we refer back to measures of a law which we will deal with by orders. The deputies will vote a practically incomplete law ”, he denounced.
The funding conference is to be set up on Thursday. It must bring together the social partners in order to find before the end of April the means to guarantee the financial balance of the pension system by 2027.
