He PIT-CNT reached an agreement to propose a single ballot for the plebiscite that he is promoting against the social Security Reform, approved last April and which entered into force this month, something that must be definitively ratified next Thursday, according to the president of the union, Marcelo Abdala.
That day the Expanded National Representative Board. “It is very probable that the definition will be adjusted and there will be only one ballot,” said Abdala about the initiative, which proposes the end of the AFAP, maintain the retirement age at 60 years and that retirement and minimum pensions remain above the poverty line.
abdala He highlighted the consensus for there to be a single ballot because it will define “with what power the labor movement will start to establish a campaign of signatures” against the social security reform.
“The people will be able to effectively think about social security without AFAP, with a minimum retirement linked to the national minimum wage and also with a retirement age that can even be improved, but that is at 60 years old,” stated the union leader.
The main axes of the ballot
The union central had voted to promote the plebiscite weeks ago, in the midst of the crosses between different aspects of the Broad Front (FA) and the left, who did not agree on whether or not to support the initiative. Now, in the recent document, the PIT-CNT It maintained that “individual savings systems for retirement purposes are prohibited,” in reference to the AFAPs, by establishing that they must end their activities within a maximum period of two years “from the entry into force of this reform.”
The ballot also proposes that the retirement age be 60 years and establishes that “no retirement or pension may be less than the value of the national minimum wage.” For abdala, it is about “defending a social security criterion that helps the redistribution of wealth”.
