Request to Abolish Actuarial Reduction of Pension Benefits for Public Employees

March 1, 2026

The Federation of Trade Unions is requesting the elimination of the actuarial reduction of pension benefits for public employees wishing to retire early. This request is based on previous adjustments made in 2020 and is supported by several trade unions. Employees believe that the actuarial coefficients are a austerity measure that should be abolished, as the reasons for its implementation no longer apply. They expect a meeting with the Minister of Finance to further discuss the issue. The organizations emphasize that current regulations negatively affect employees' decisions regarding early retirement.
