Pensions, what changes in 2022: towards the meeting between Draghi and trade unions
The premier Mario Draghi is preparing to meet the trade unions to discuss the pension reform 2022, which involves the abandonment of Quota 100 and the calculation of the allowance with the contributory method. The government plan was baptized All option and will provide for the exit of work at a minimum age of 62-63 years. Woman option it was proposed until 31/12/22 but with an average cut in the social security contribution of 6% for employees and 13% for self-employed women.
The recalculation of the pension all with the contribution however, it would entail a loss of between 20 and 30% of the check, or between 20 and 130 thousand euros of lower income from leaving to 82, the current milestone of average life. Simulations carried out by the CGIL in view of the table on social security convened by Prime Minister Draghi: “Let’s see if there is really the will of the government to start a debate and not just a listening to overcome the rigidity of the Fornero law”, says Roberto Ghiselli, confederal secretary Cgil and pension manager.
CGIL and UIL therefore reject the “tax method”. While the premier must “return fully to contributory, in a sustainable way for the accounts”. But this also means a necessarily penalizing recalculation, a cut, for those who are in the mixed system and have several years (less than 18, according to the rules of the mixed system) worked before 31 December 1995 and counted in the salary system, explains Republic. The mechanism has already been run in in recent years by Woman option: the workers left earlier, at 58-59, but with a third of the allowance less; the same thing would happen with All option.
For the union this is not acceptable. The reason? Not only because “actuarial neutrality is not respected: in the end the state earns it, the worker gets less money”. But because “this is not the only objective of the table, given that the aim is to review the inequities of the Fornero law also against those who are fully contributory because they started working in 1996”, he explains Republic.
“For i young and old – forty and fifty today – means moving the exit age after 70, as certified by the OECD a few days ago, being able to anticipate only if you reach a multiple pension of the social allowance: 1.5 or 2.8 sometimes, depending on the case, drag the collection of pensions into very old age for those who have worked intermittently, with career holes and poor wages: young people, women, temporary workers, VAT numbers on all “, he concludes Republic.
