INTERVIEW
While a huge day of mobilization is scheduled for November 5, the anger of the unions does not weaken against the pension reform. The transition to a point system bristles including Yves Veyrier, secretary general Force Ouvrière. "Every time we raise the issue of special schemes, but here what disappears is the general system, for all employees, and with it the last 25 years" in the calculation of pensions, he explained Monday on Europe 1.
"We only manage according to the obligation to make savings"
"On the side of the government, one begins to perceive that this reform does not pass as they believed it.The reform does not appear more simple, not necessarily more just", wants to believe the trade unionist. "I have a fundamental disagreement with the very principle of a regime by point.Tomorrow, governments will manage the parameters of the system according to budgetary constraints, financial We have managed, for a long time, more than in function of the obligation to save money. "
As to whether a strike, which is necessarily penalizing for users, particularly the RATP in Ile-de-France, is a good course of action or not, Yves Veyrier believes that it is not the main objective of Force Ouvrière who only resolves it as a last resort. "Our goal is to make ourselves heard." From the beginning, we explained all the reasons [for our disagreements] Publicly, I have never been contradicted, I can not be blamed for not having warned. "
