INTERVIEW
"Half measures, half reasonable." On the sixth day of mobilization against the pension reform, Rémi Aufrere-Privel, deputy secretary general of the CFDT-Cheminots, explains to the microphone of Europe 1 what he expects of the announcements of Edouard Philippe, expected Wednesday at noon .
According to the information of Europe 1, the generations 75 and 85, for the special diets, should switch first in the system by points. "How to explain to the statutory staff who have been contributing for 15 years in the special scheme that they will not be entitled to it?" Questions Rémi Aufrere-Privel. The CFDT cheminot, unlike the CFDT center, joined other unions mobilized against the reform defended by the government.
"Easy solution"
To get out of the conflict, the secretary general calls for the famous "clause of the grandfather", which implies that only new recruits are concerned by the reform. "It's an easy, explainable solution," he says, calling for "just reform" and more in-depth explanations of the government's intentions. "The police are going to have a special treatment, the teachers are going in. Universality is not everyone the same ...", he says.

The red lines of the CFDT Cheminots are clear. The union demands the grandfather clause, and the parameters (age of departure, amount of pension, contribution period) left as they are. "A parametric reform would be scandalous, we want systemic reform, durable and sustainable solutions."
