There is no and there will be no compromise on lowering the retirement age. During yesterday’s meeting last resort task team on. Social Insurance Council of Social Dialogue employers and unions failed to reach a common position on the presidential bill amending the law on pensions from the Social Insurance Fund and certain other acts (form No. 62) . Even if that happened, it’s probably this position would not have been taken into account. Reason? Everything points to the fact that the fate of the presidential project has already been decided. Evidence of this Saturday’s statement PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski. During a chat with Internet users, he claimed that the early retirement age will come into force next year.
– currently under discussion, but the words you need to keep, and that is what we promised, will come into force – said Jaroslaw Kaczynski. – These proposals take into account seniority, which raises some problems, not speaking about it to people in full force is not working, the point is that those who can no longer work, have the opportunity to finish the job. Today’s world is different than 20 or 50 years ago, people are living longer and need to be able to work if they want to – he said.
Slow and even slower
Presidential bill lowering the retirement age to 60 years for women and 65 for men was originally to take effect from 1 January 2016. At the request of PiS deputies first public hearing of the document took place, however, until 12 January 2016. The project from the beginning aroused mixed feelings. Experts explained that Polish can not afford this type of change, and what’s more, it can cause a collapse of the current pension system. Some hope to determine the optimal solutions were related to the work of the team for the problem. Social Insurance Council of Social Dialogue. Unfortunately, the last two months of his work did not bring any solution. The reason is primarily a dispute between employers and trade unions.
Forum of Trade Unions, the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union “Solidarity” and the All-Poland Alliance of Trade Unions support the project lowering the retirement age to 60 years for women and 65 years for men.
– It is also necessary to introduce the possibility of acquiring rights to a pension regardless of age for women with 35 years of contributions and men with 40 years of work. In this way, the possibility of completion of the work will be people who started working life early and work in harsh conditions – notes Wieslaw Taranowska, Vice-President of OPZZ.
Introducing the concept internship may, however, be impossible because the CEO Jaroslaw Kaczynski that this option is unlikely to be taken into account by the ruling party.
the other hand, employers are divided. Polish Craft Association believes that the best solution is to allow the retirement of women after the completion of 61 years and men who have completed 66 years. Otherwise, the problem of lowering the retirement age sees the Lewiatan Confederation. In her opinion, the draft presidential should be so altered that were suspended in raising the retirement age for men and keeping it at 66 years, and continue to raise the retirement age of women to 66 years.
The employers’ organization it is also the introduction of the possibility of retirement people who have work experience of at least 40 years, but only after the age of 62 years. And it provided the capital needed ensuring the provision of at least 130 percent. minimum pension. Employers of Poland claim and that the only solution is to maintain the current legal system allows systematic improvement of working life to 67 years of age.
Without minister
And although the social partners could not yesterday along a common position, in one they agreed. Well, they were appalled that at the meeting did not turn up one DIRECTOR ministry. What’s more, representing them deputy director of the department of social security Marek Bucior was entitled only to deliver an apology.
– Today’s meeting should be canceled, because we have no one to talk to – noticed at the beginning of Boguslaw Nowak -Turowiecka expert insurance Polish Craft Association.
In the lobby pointed out that avoiding a meeting with the social partners, the Ministry of Labour pushed away the problem of answers to the question of what exactly the government plans to do with the presidential project. – All indications are that the decision on the retirement age has already fallen – says Jeremi Mordasewicz expert Confederation Lewiatan.
True, the experts point out that on May 18 is planned closed meeting presidium of the Council for Social Dialogue, but if the team failed to reach a common position on this issue, it is difficult to hope that the parties ever come to an agreement. It is also not known what effect the shape of the project will have extraordinary subcommittee for consideration presented by the President of the bill. Its first meeting will take place today at. 17.
