Schouten also does not want to leave it to the intentions, the minister said. But he also attaches great importance to the proposals made on this issue by the Labor Foundation, a partnership between employees and employers.
“I am open to this”, see Schouten on GroenLinks and PvdA’s proposal. “But first I want to see if this is the right shape or if we look wider. This is my research.”
Nijboer called it “very important” that the group of workers without retirement be halved. He also called for firmer commitments with Schouten. “How credible do you get there without organizing anything legal?”
In addition to this requirement, GroenLinks and PvdA want workers to accumulate pensions from the age of 18 instead of 21. Finally, the parties are calling for the lifting of the waiting period for temporary workers, so that they immediately start accruing a pension. Maatoug: “Without our three amendments, this law is incomplete.”
Schouten had long known the wishes of the two left-wing parties. The House debated the law for many hours. Today’s discussion, which lasted all day, had already been postponed because the first part only ended late at night.
Most opposition parties, on the other hand, like delays. They believe the government is proceeding too quickly with the treatment. All the more so as important tips are expected at the end of this month to calculate how pension funds react to different economic conditions. Gradually in this file it became apparent that this type of computation leads to new and important insights and opportunities.
Even now, there was no time left to conclude the debate completely. A new date will be set next week so that a final political judgment can finally follow.
