Euskaraz irakurri: CEOEk, Cepymek eta ATAk Escrivaren pentsioen erreforma errefusatu dute: “Atzerakoia da bere osotasunean”
The business organizations CEOE, Cepyme and ATA have expressed this Friday their “frontal opposition” to the pension reform raised by the Government of Spain, which they accuse of having a “great collection voracity” and of presenting a “populist” proposalwhich “will undermine the efforts of companies in wage negotiations” with the unions.
In a joint communiqué, the employers denounce that the maintenance of the pension system “is made to fall on the country’s workers and companies through a general increase in contributions” which, as they warn, “will reduce the salaries of all workers and increase the labor costs, jeopardizing job creation”.
“The proposal that is intended to be approved, without prejudice to an exhaustive analysis of the document delivered at today’s meeting, is regressive in its entirety because it implies more years of work, more contributory effort and less pension“, they emphasize.
For business organizations, it is “inconceivable” that the Spanish government will face the reform of the pension system “without the necessary debate and social dialogue after reaching an agreement with Europe on an unprecedented transfer of sovereignty.”
“The proposal violates the necessary debate that should have taken place in the Toledo Pact and is not accompanied by the impact analysis that the social partners have been demanding since the summer,” they stress.
