Trains are due to be disrupted till Tuesday but who knows.
This is the French. It'll go on for months.
It's for a large the RATP and the SNCF, they are the worst.
Arent playing ball? They already have the best working conditions in Europe. They're just taking the piss as usual.
Probably, I'm pretty uninformed. Just like a good riot every now and then.
Good on them, not really. The ones that are the most vocal are the ones who currently can retire at worst at 57.
Where is that? It will probably be the same for most of us born in the 80s, the UK govt website tells me 68 currently but there's no way it will be that by the time I get to retirement age. Maybe your government is being a bit more honest.
I was told the law stating the relatively early retirement age for train drivers In France was made in the distant past when working on a train meant breathing in lots of coal dust with all the consequences for life expectancy that entailed.
Love them for that.Wonder what we would do if Boris wins and starts to sell of the NHS.
Yeah, just skimmed through the article at first. 57 is even more ridiculous than 73. Not that I would mind.
Denmark. I suppose it’s fair enough we have to work longer considering we get older and older. But my dad is 62 and dead tried of work and will retire within the next year or so as he can since his age and position has made him able to do so. I look at him and think that I have to work 10 years longer
It's not, it's mathematically necessary. That or increasing the social security taxes/contributions and their equivalents elsewhere. Collectively, retirement ages + contribution equations that end up being too generous are a fraud that we just commit against ourselves.
We will do nothing at all and just carry on as normal. And probably vote for Boris again.
The retirement age isn't even changing for most people it's still 62, the ones with special status are just going to have the same age requirements.
It's always the same story, everytime France is crippled from the outside, while in France people simply go to work almost as normal. Now the issue is different for Paris, they are the ones that will be affected the most by strikes from the RATP and the SNCF.Didn’t even notice the strikes in Lyon. Went to work as normal on Thursday, had family fly out for fete de luminaire on Friday, with just a slightly delayed flight as usual.
Was funny reading the UK news talking about France being ‘crippled’.
Absolutely nothing, the servile majority will just doff their caps and tug their forlocks and assume their betters know what's best.
Where do you live
Denmark. As I said earlier, it’s fair enough that we have to work longer as we also live longer, but in my case teaching kids at age 73 is just a crazy thought. Nevermind professions like builders and nurses.
Who wants to work till the day they die? My father in law was the only person in his company to make it to retirement, the rest all died before they got there. Way to go.
Who is going to pay for it though? NHS budgets, benefits and the rest pale in comparison to the pension obligations of an ageing population.
Well nobody, I hope. Having to work fundamentally sucks and if people can retire early to enjoy their life then they should as they will almost certainly be happier for it.
Who's going to employ a 60 year old that is looking for work? too expensive compared to a youngster, that's how companies think.
That's what tax is there for. Problem is the uk keeps voting for a party that always wants to lower tax and make cuts to balance books. it's that simple
