(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL Pensions : Mobilizing against fate (fr)

2003, 2010, 2013 : the reforms and are very similar, they come from the right or the PS. 
It is always the same logic of austerity workers pay more while the owners are spared. 
Invert the trend and break down the logic of capitalism to build communism solidarity! -- 
"Reform" proposed by the Government PS- EELV valid and aggravates the above measures 
imposed by Sarkozy. The main measure prolongs contribution initiated by the reforms of 
2003 and 2010 : the employee - born after 1973 are now expected to contribute 43 years 
instead of 41.5 for a full pension. An extension of six years of contributions in 10 years 
of " reform" ! Knowing that begins to contribute to 26 years on average, and that combines 
the coup 36 annuities for average women, 39 for men, this reform would lead logically 
lower pensions.
 
The clinching argument PS- Green government, increased life expectancy, does not stand as 
life expectancy in good health, she is constantly decreasing (62.4 years for men, 64, 2 
for women). Similarly, facilities celebrated by the CFDT on hardship and the careers of 
women remain unclear promises and are not offset setbacks received in 2003 and 2010. 
Finally, the premium increase and offset the fall in pension increases would adversely 
affect the living standards of all.

The objective is, again, to lower our direct and indirect wages. This is what the 
employers, politicians and the media calls to lower the "cost of labor", both by 
increasing contributions on wages, lower pensions and taxes (end of the tax benefit for 
the parents of three children).
 
Capital must pay!
Employers big winner of this reform because it does not even have to put their hands in 
the pocket higher employer contributions will be fully offset by lower family 
contributions. But this is because the contributions capitalists are constantly decreasing 
there is a hole in pension funding of ? 22 billion. Yet other solutions there would be :
  remove exemptions for employers bring in 10 billion ;
  impose equal pay between men and women bring in 10 billion ;
  hire 5 million unemployed would yield $ 25 billion.
 
With all that there would be more than enough to finance a pension at age 55 at the full 
rate for all!
 
Ways to save
The day of action on 10 September called by the CGT, Solidarity, FO and FSU is a first 
step. It will be launched soon as a new call to strike and mobilization. The situation in 
2010 is that the days isolated, even successful, does not suffice to make the government. 
It is a sustained movement to build.
 
The battle of pensions is a part of the fight against austerity and against the 
capitalism. Each salary increase, every new hire comes replenish pension funds. Linking 
the different struggles has meaning and is necessary to anchor the mobilization in the 
immediate concerns of employee - es. And the unemployed must also invite now in the street 
because after retirement is unemployment compensation to be renegotiated.
 
Then everyone must clarify its position with respect to the PS- Greens government. This is 
not a simple arbiter between employee and employer - es, but it is to boot it. Cleaning 
the PS is to become an accomplice to sow disillusion among employee - es and pave the way 
to the National Front.
 
Finally, we must lead the ideological struggle to convince that the capitalist system is 
not inevitable and that another company is possible. Our pension contributions and their 
management are a great loot that still eludes banks and private insurance. It is this 
idea, the resources of all the benefit of everyone to be preserved and expanded. And if a 
self-managed by workers and workers who would provide you all system studies, training, 
health, housing or transportation is generalized ? We do not need private banks or their 
credit or their profits or their failures !
