“Introduce in the next budget law provisions, also of a transitory nature, aimed at guaranteeing early access to specific groups of workers with reduced requirements compared to those envisaged when fully operational” by decree law no. 201/2011, or by the Fornero reform. In fact, the request addressed to the government by the majority with the opinion on the Update Note to the Def voted (including the League) by the Labor Commission of the Chamber is an explicit request. Which seems to have the aim of opening a gap in the menu of technical options being evaluated by the Ministry of Economy to maintain an exit channel at 62 or 63, in addition to the reinforced social Ape, albeit in a selective version: making it usable only for certain sectors or categories of workers and with a proportionally reduced allowance compared to the “full” one based on the years in advance. A hypothesis that would have been inserted among those reached on the table of the government technicians.
And the solicitation arrived from the political forces that support the executive, and also from the trade unions, is certainly not destined to be the last before the launch of the maneuver. In all likelihood, Palazzo Chigi and the Mef will uncover the cards between the end of next week and the beginning of the next one. On the plate there would be a dowry of 4-5 billion for the pension chapter.
A dowry that should be shared more or less equally, unless not impossible last-minute second thoughts, between the revaluation to be guaranteed for treatments in 2022, taking into account the new inflation trend and the conclusion of the indexing system at the end of the year. on six bands, and the measures to make, at least in part, softer the return in full version to the rules introduced by the Fornero law and by the previous provisions. In any case, there will not be a re-edition of Quota 100. The request for a dry extension of one year from the League does not seem to excite the Mef too much and is considered unthinkable by the Democratic Party.
The situation is different for the National Fund for outgoing flexibility, also proposed by the Carroccio to guarantee early retirement with 62-63 years, which could become one of the elements of negotiation between the majority and the government for the management of the post Quota 100. Which in the intentions of the Democratic Party and the Ministry of Labor, it must primarily be conceived in the name of the protection of fragile workers or those engaged in burdensome activities. A protection that could also be guaranteed with an alternative exit channel to that of the social Ape, destined to be extended (this instrument also expires at the end of the year) in a more extensive version, incorporating part of the indications of the Technical Commission set up by the minister Andrea Orlando on the categories of heavy duties to be added to the current list. These workers can currently access the Pension Advance (paid by the State) with at least 63 years of age and 36 in contributions (30 if unemployed, disabled or caregiver). The question of revaluations is also not simple. Also because the return to the model with three brackets for the adjustment of allowances to the cost of living, being substantially more advantageous for retirees than the current one, could involve non-negligible costs.
