IG Metall-Social Director Hans-Jürgen Urban: “The pension does not save a policy of fear and incisions, but in the way: by a really solidary financing for more reliability. A component for this is an employee.
Cuts are not negotiable among employees, today’s and future pensioners: from real pension cuts to a higher retirement age. Each cut in the system burdens the insured. A lower pension level means an individually higher financial risk from private provision. A higher retirement age means a multi -unrealistic additional burden in professional life and higher pension discounts. Anyone who attacks the social promise of security endangers the foundation of our social state.
No cut in the system helps the young generation. It too rely on a stable and reliable statutory pension. Anyone who stabilizes the pension level in the long term improves the generation balance of the boys. Because, unlike the self -proclaimed lawyers of future generations, a falling level of pension will be a burden on the burden on the pension -related years if you have to close your own supply gap in old age with expensive private provision. A generation -friendly pension policy requires a stabilization of the pension level – not only until 2031. ”
