The most conflicting subjects will not be discussed from the outset. On Wednesday, October 5, the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, kicked off the “consultation” on pension reform. For an hour and a half, he received the social partners to explain to them how the exchanges will take place. Recently relaunched by the executive, the idea of postponing 65 years of the age of rights to a pension will appear in the last chapter of the discussions. This campaign promise by Emmanuel Macron is the biggest blocking point, all unions being hostile to such a measure that they say they are ready to fight by “all the necessary means of action”.
The calendar and the method presented Wednesday is in line with the ads made on September 29 by Elisabeth Borne. The government’s chef had declared that consultations would be engaged during the fall on this project, her wish being to draw a “before Christmas”. “We favor the registration of this reform in a bill which should be voted before the end of winter, for the entry into force of the reform in the summer of 2023,” she added.

Wednesday, Mr. Dussopt provided details to this roadmap, indicating that the talks will be cut into three “cycles”. The first, centered on “the employment of seniors and the prevention of professional wear”, will start on October 10. On this problem, the employers are expected to foot on the farm, employers are often accused of wanting to cut at the top of the age pyramid by separating from their aging employees.
From November 7 will begin a second sequence of reflection, on “equity and [social justice”, which could fuel tensions because it will notably be a question of “the future of special regimes”. These devices allow workers of certain companies (such as RATP) to retire before 62 years – the rule of ordinary law for private employees. Should also be examined the fate of civil servants in “active categories” who, too, can claim the payment of their pension earlier than the others (police, soldiers, certain caregivers in hospitals …). The questioning of these derogatory systems is a potential source of clashes, as shown, for example, the strikes of railway workers in 2018 against the extinction of their status and the affiliation of SNCF recruits to the diet general of life insurance.
