Regarding pensions, the first meeting between the government and the union after the summer break is scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, to address the adjustments that will be included in the next budget law with the aim of extending and expanding the Mono Social Option and woman. But the focus will already be on the pension reform that will be defined with a specific delegation in the first half of 2021 to avoid the dangerous ladder that looms in early 2022 with the end of the three-year trial of Quota 100. It is no coincidence that This is the theme in the Center of the next round between the Executive and CGIL, CISL and UIL, already scheduled for September 16.
Immediately a proposal could be put on the table that does not seem to upset the Ministry of Labor too much: the introduction of a flexible mechanism to allow departures from 62 or 63 years and a minimum seniority of 38 years. , or perhaps even 36, which provides for a sanction, in full adherence to the pure contribution system, in the form of a reduction in treatment of 2.8-3% for each year before the old-age retirement threshold (67 years). Mechanism that could also become one of the tools to be used together with the buffers to manage corporate crises in the coming months, especially after the current red light on layoffs is turned off.
A solution based on the return to flexibility at the exit should not be badly received by the unions, who will defend their quota project 41 in the first instance, that is, guaranteeing all workers, starting from the so-called “precocious”, the right to retirement with 41 years of contributions regardless of age. But, beyond their respective positions, the parties will have to deal with at least two stone guests: the possible costs of proposals in the field and restoration of the fit. automatic life expectancy for advance pensions, which was blocked until 2026 by the yellow-green executive Conte 1 with the introduction of Quota 100.
In the first case, we should not start from scratch, since we could take advantage of the 3-4 billion of lower expenses that should guarantee the lower than expected attractiveness shown so far by Quota 100, unless the comparison directs these resources. on other interventions on the bargaining menu, such as the creation of a guarantee pension for young people, considered a priority by the unions and by the Government itself. However, more difficult to overcome seems the obstacle of reestablishing the direct link between exits and life expectancy. In any case, the restyling of the social security system will have to see the light no later than next year, also because the reform was in fact guaranteed by the Government to the EU with the PNR (National Reform Program) that was sent to Brussels in recent weeks. and that it constitutes a kind of starter for the recovery fund that must be put in black and white before October 15.
The vehicle that avoids the ladder that is ahead between the end of next year and 2022 will not do, as is known, the maneuver of next fall. Which will contain a package of pensions destined, in the intentions of the Ministry of Labor, to be linked to the measures in process to favor the generational change, perhaps through the strengthening of the expansive solidarity contract that is no longer limited to companies with a thousand employees. On the launch pad is the expansion of the Social Ape to a greater number of categories dedicated to heavy work and that of the Women’s Option, also taking into account part-time vertical cases. Few possibilities, at least for the moment, there seems to be another request from the unions, that of the expansion of the audience of retirees who benefit from the so-called 14 while the restoration of the voluntary or corporate Ape could appear, closed last year after the first. experimentation. A measure that could be taken into consideration to allow flexibility in leaving more than 63 years with a minimum of 20 contributions, also because it has no cost for the State and could be useful to manage corporate restructuring.
