The situation is unsustainable for millions of retirees and pensioners.
We reiterate the need for an emergency increase - proportional in all scales - so that
there is no retirement below the Basic Basket of an Elderly Person. It is the
responsibility of the State to resolve this situation caused by the accumulated
deterioration of the purchasing power of retirements and pensions, which affects
current and future generations of retirees.
To achieve a true public pension system, of distribution, assisted, of an
intergenerational nature, putting an end to the impositions agreed with the IMF, such
as the regressive labor and pension reform, for the grant to the macrista government
and the refinancing with the current government of the Illegitimate, illegal, fraudulent
foreign debt, which is paid rigorously ignoring what the majority of our people
demands, the path is the unity and struggle of the active and retired working class
with classist conceptions.
Regarding the pension, they are making decisive progress, among other measures,
with the reduction of pension assets, with the reduction and cancellation of income
and conditions of their own pension regimes, such as that of unions in the provinces
not transferred to the national pension system and such as that of activities that, due
to conditions of labor and territorial security and specificity, determine it. With the
same objectives, they advance in the underfunding of the pension system,
suspending or reducing employer contributions and canceling those of the State,
which adds to the serious situation of unregistered, unemployed, underemployed
workers, without labor rights and without pension contributions. of wages and
employers. The continuity of these policies leads, as we have already lived in the
experience of the Menem decade, to the privatization of the pension system, with the
disastrous AFJP for the greater increase in the profits of bank and financial capital.
RETIREMENTS AND PENSIONS ARE NOT SUBSIDIES TO THE OLD AGE
THAT ARE RESOLVED WITH BONUSES AND OCCUPATIONAL UPDATES. THEY
ARE THE PRODUCT OF THE SALARY CONTRIBUTIONS OR DEFERRED
INCOME, ESTABLISHED BY LAW, DURING THIRTY, FORTY AND MORE YEARS
TO OBTAIN A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SALARY OR INCOME IN THIS STAGE OF
LIFE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO LIVE WITH AUTONOMY AND DIGNITY
