Overview

• Only five organisations remain in the pension conclave — Medef, CPME, CFDT, CFTC and CFE-CGC — with three sessions left before the June 17 deadline.
• Medef reaffirms its red line on holding the legal retirement age at 64 while proposing automatic indexing to demographic and labour market criteria.
• The employers’ body signals readiness to expand professional wear and tear provisions by amending the prevention account and lowering disability retirement age to 61.
• Medef proposes maternity-related pension credits by calculating women’s average salary over fewer years to boost benefits without increasing costs.
• A COR draft report maps out increases to 64.3 years by 2030, 65.9 by 2045 and 66.5 by 2070, prompting strong resistance from unions.
