noted in the press conference just after the meeting of the Confederation Council, the highest governing body of CCOO, which decided to approve the signing of the agreement with Government and employers with 164 votes in favor and 17 against, that it is a "grand bargain" that contains materials relating to pensions, collective bargaining, the recovery of financial assistance to unemployed people who do not receive any benefits and the reopening of the Bureau of Public Service, among others.

As explained by the Secretary General of CCOO, and with regard to pensions, is a "balanced agreement that acts on spending and provides avenues for improving revenues and thus ensure better pensions in our country" and that " incorporates elements of great importance for the future of pensions ", which was reeling in his speech. So there will be noted that retirement at age 67 for all or eliminates early retirement or partial, as claimed by the Government, which would set "a scenario that would open the door to the gradual privatization of pensions."

also among the contents of Toxo pension arrangement referred to the new right to retire at age 63 and the regulation of compensation for the youth in training and parents who interrupt their careers to care their children, a move he did not hesitate to consider a revolution in relation to the situation so far existing.

With this agreement, "we have a shot in the citizens, for future pensioners, because it strengthens the system, and they are past the worst of the crisis, those unemployed and long-term unemployed who have exhausted unemployment benefits and that under the agreement will receive 400 euros - aid valued Toxo , especially when the Government had to abolish the 426 euros of aid - ". Moreover, Toxo expressed his belief that" if we're here is assessing the agreement because there has been a general strike and the call was dormant for a new strike "
Despite
satisfied with the agreement, both Toxo as Mendez recalled that there are open conflict with the government. "The agreement we sign is not going to prevent us from claiming against the freezing of pensions, "said the secretary general of the CCOO," or that we continue to insist on the popular legislative initiative to amend the labor reform.
