Pension reform: after the minister’s presentation, the unions ready for confrontation

He may have wet his shirt, Olivier Dussopt’s demonstration flopped. The Minister of Labour, who received the social partners on Monday, did not convince of the need to reform the pension system as soon as possible. Exit the shared diagnosis. Worse, at the end of these two hours of interview, he did not even manage to move the lines. With, on the union side, a frontal opposition to the presidential project to raise the retirement age – currently 62 years – to 64 or 65 years. And, in the ranks of the employers, a categorical niet to an acceleration of the calendar which could be decided in the coming days, despite their adherence to the principle of the reform.
