The World Federation of Trade Unions expresses its support and solidarity with the workers in the Russian Federation, who are opposing and struggling against the plans of the Government, who intends to raise the retirement age for women and men workers.
Until today, the law of the Soviet Union of 1928 still applies, according to which the maximum retirement age is 55 for women and 60 for men. The Soviet Union was the first state in the world to vote and implement such a law.

The photo that heads this article is very clear and significant. It says NO to the Pacts of Toledo, which, even being a very negative Social Pact, is still defended by CCOO and UGT. It is a photo taken on March 17, 2,018, in Barcelona, from the head of the great manifestation of P&R (Pensioners and Retirees). Manifestation convened by La Marea de Pensionistas, as part of the almost 200 demonstrations that the State Coordination for the Defense of Public Pensions had convened on the same date.

According to figures released by the Bloomberg economic news agency, during the 4 days of the meeting at DAVOS, the remuneration of business leaders in relation to the average income of workers in their respective countries will be equivalent to:
• more than 2 years of average income (GDP per capita) in the United Kingdom;
• more than one year and 10 months in the Netherlands;
• more than one year and 8 months in Switzerland;
• more than one year and 7 months in Spain; and
• 18 months of average income in Germany.

The State Coordinator in Defense of the Public Pension System takes out the campaign of a BROWN TIE, against the miserable rise of 0.25% of pensions.
