To make access to the pension more flexible, it is necessary to think about the contribution recalculation of the allowance. This is the proposal made to the unions by the government in the technical meeting on flexibility in exit. A proposal that the workers’ representatives rejected to the sender: «It is significant – affirms the confederal secretary Uil Domenico Proietti – that the Government recognizes that it is necessary to introduce flexibility in the age of access to retirement. We consider the idea of linking this flexibility to the contribution recalculation to be wrong, which would be a further penalty ».
The executive would also be willing to lower the quota by 2.8 times the minimum allowance for those who are entirely in the contributory system and want to access retirement three years before the old age and are available to extend it to those in the mixed system if he renounces to use the remuneration method even for the years that would fall within this system. The Government is also willing to think about a sort of guarantee pension for people who at 67 have not reached an amount equal to 1.5 times the minimum (and should therefore retire later) by giving a social allowance integrated with the contributions accrued. On the other hand, the unions explain, there is no availability on the possibility of retiring with 41 years of contributions as requested by the CGIL, CISL and UIL.
In Italy the age to access retirement, since 2011, is 67, but in Europe, the trade unionist remembers, “the average is only now reaching 63”, who therefore asks to re-align with the European average. Without forgetting the heavy and tiring work «eliminating all the formal constraints that prevented workers from being able to use these tools. An answer must be given to precocious workers by establishing that 41 years of contributions are sufficient to retire regardless of age. In the contributory system – concludes Proietti – the income thresholds that require those with weaker or discontinuous careers to retire later must be overcome ”.
