The law on pension reform promulgated on April 14 by the President of the Republic continues to mobilize the unions. In the Doubs, an inter-union of retirees offers the LR deputy to live “a new professional experience”.
In a letter sent on May 3 to the deputy of the 3rd district of Doubs, the inter-union-retirement CFDT-CFE / CGC-CFTC-CGT-FO-FSU-Solidaires-UNSA of the Pays de Montbéliard writes:
On June 8, at the National Assembly, you will have to decide on the postponement of retirement at age 64. (On June 8, a bill to repeal the pension reform will be debated within the framework of the parliamentary niche of the Liot group, Editor’s note)
So that you can decide with full knowledge of the facts, and measure the consequences of your vote, we suggest that you come and spend the coming month on a post on the assembly line of the PSA-Stellantis factory in Sochaux.
A position, which will allow you to get up every other week at 4 a.m., and the following week to return home at 10 p.m.
A position that will give you the opportunity to carry out assembly operations on cars that pass by at the rate of one every 60 seconds, and where you will benefit from a snack time of 20 minutes.
Of course, you will have to remain available on Saturdays in case the tight flow requirements require 6 production days in the week. So many working conditions that are not considered difficult, in application of the laws that you have voted.
At the end of this internship, you will be able to indicate whether you wish to extend it for two years and whether you think you will be able to continue until you are 64.
A job as an understudy on the assembly line does not fall within the hardship criteria.
Bruno Lemerle, CGT remains convinced that the reform will deal a heavy blow to workers in the coming years. “Those who work as an understudy, who do a week getting up at 4 a.m., the other coming home at 10 p.m. are not considered today by the criteria of arduousness,” he says. The letter, certainly provocative, could well be followed by other proposals for professional experience proposed to the deputy of Doubs was not opposed to the reform increasing the retirement age to 64 years instead of 62 years, and this, gradually until 2030.
Contacted by telephone by France 3 Franche-Comté, Nicolas Pacquot, 44, said he was “amused” by this letter. And responds to the inter-union through the press: “I worked at Stellantis, the month of integration into the chain, I did it in 2001. I was in shoeing, one of the most difficult positions”. The elected representative of Doubs recalls that his parents were both workers at Peugeot: “When I left school, at 22 and a half, I had already contributed 9 quarters, I often worked at night in the factory. ” he recalls. “I know the working conditions today at Stellantis Sochaux, they are not those of 40 years ago” he says.
For the elected Republican, the pension reform was necessary, and it will allow some to leave rather than they should have before the adoption of the reform. “There is a lack of knowledge of the progress, of those who will be able to leave at 58, or 62,” adds Nicolas Pacquot. He specifies thathardship fund is intended to take into account professional wear and tear related to the conditions of exercise of certain trades. “40% of working people will not retire at 64!” he concludes.
