The first chairwoman of the union comments on the public hearing of the Committee for Labor and Social Affairs on Pension Package II
October 14, 202414. 10. 2024
“The FDP is damaging millions of current and future pensioners with its internal politics of power and delay. Untying a fully wrapped package and rummaging around in it unsettles people. Pension package II must come as quickly as possible and without further risk surcharges – just as FDP leader Lindner himself presented. Younger employees in particular deserve a stable pension level in the long term. Those who want lower contributions primarily want to release employers from their shared responsibility for pension provision and leave employees alone to deal with the pension gap.”
