FNV wants to be flexible and less hard rising state pension age – NOS

The FNV wants people with heavy work previously may stop working. And, therefore, the AOW pension age, flexible, and less likely to rise, says the trade union.

The state pension age rises gradually to 67 years and 3 months in 2022. He is then linked to life expectancy. The CBS expects that the AOW-age will increase, probably to 71,5 years in 2060.

The FNV believes this is “a growing problem for people who do heavy work, poorly paid, and on average, live shorter lives”. In the current link leads to one year longer life up to one year later AOW. The FNV wants that half of the original, so one year longer life than a half a year later AOW.

Worn out knees

“People who are on their sixteenth started, crawling now with worn out knees to the finish line. That should really change”, says Han Busker, the prospective new chairman of the FNV.

The union wants people to four years earlier or later can start with AOW. In a standard pension age of 67 you would also already be on your

63rd AOW can go to receive, or pass on your 71st. The plan is that if you choose to earlier old age pension, that the amount is lower, but it was enough to live on.

New cabinet

The PENSION plan of the union would cost the government money. But according to bond, people with serious professions have the ability to be a decent way of their old age to enjoy and is that no longer the case.

The FNV hopes that a new cabinet seriously to the plan. It is especially meant for people with serious professions, but in principle anyone can take advantage of that. According to the bond it is too complicated to determine what is and is not a heavy job.
