CNSM calls for the inclusion of its amendments to the draft law on pension system reform

Trade unions address to the Parliamentary Committees for social protection, health and family; economy, budget and finance; legal; appointments and immunities; public administration, regional development, environment and climate change; human rights and interethnic relations and foreign policy and European integration, being deeply concerned and outraged by the Government approval on the 5^th of December of the draft law aimed at pension system reform.

National Trade Union Confederation of Moldova (CNSM) believes that most of the proposals submitted by the Government are discriminatory and detrimental to the vast majority of its citizens. Therefore, the board of CNSM will express its position on the mentioned subject at the meetings of the parliamentary committees.

We note that trade unions raised this issue during the meeting with Prime Minister Pavel Filip on Monday, December 5.

The most stringent provisions that concern trade unions refer to increasing the retirement age and contributory periods, recalculation of pensions for people who continue their work after the establishment of the pension for old age, pension indexation, the right to establish early retirement pension and the establishment of the basic pension for all beneficiaries of pensions.

Aiming not to allow the production of inadmissible inequities for Moldovan citizens, CNSM calls for the inclusion of its amendments to the draft law amending and supplementing certain acts, approved by the Government on December 5, 2016.
