Government’s Contempt for Public Service Personnel: Unions Demand Urgent Action

2023-07-10 14:37:00

If they do not get an answer within the next 24 hours, they will meet to prepare a reaction, they say in a letter addressed to the head of government.

The reason for this letter addressed to the Prime Minister is the government’s agreement on pension reform, one of the key measures of which concerns the capping of equalization. This is a system that makes it possible to adapt civil servants’ pensions to well-being, in addition to indexation, by linking them to salary increases for active civil servants.

For the Christian, socialist and liberal civil service unions, this decision was taken without any social consultation. According to the common front, this demonstrates “the government’s contempt” for all public service personnel.

The unions want the Prime Minister to be personally present at Thursday’s meeting of Committee A, a negotiating body for all public services and where the unions and the government sit. The workers’ representatives want “a response within 24 hours” and it is this response that will determine their position, they explain. “If these demands are not met, the unions will take all possible measures to protect the interests of public services and staff,” warns the common front.
