The social security future of workers, particularly those in the public sector, is portrayed as uncertain and at risk. Ongoing reforms to the social security system, often introduced silently in budget laws, are eroding rights and reducing future pension amounts, estimated between 50% and 60% compared to the last salary.
For this reason, as explained by Jessica Schivardi, of Inca Cgil Brescia, and Corrado Sciamanna, who follows the Perseo Sirio Fund for FP Cgil Lombardia, complementary pension plays a fundamental role in guaranteeing a peaceful future from an economic point of view.
For public employees, and therefore for health workers, Syrian Perseus it is a strategic choice, a safe fund, streamlined in costs and advantageous in returns and Schivardi and Sciamanna’s invitation is to inform yourself, through Inca, the FP CGILand the site same as the fund, for join it for their own protection.
But the main problem remains the wrong policies of government. The strike on November 29th therefore becomes an opportunity to demand an overall change of direction and a fairer and more sustainable social security system, to defend the future of workers and the community.
