Ce chiffre est sur toutes les lèvres. Nous avons tous calculé notre droit à pension. Maintenant et après. Nous ne partirons pas tous avec le maximum. En ce qui me concerne, je peux partir à 55 ans avec une retraite proportionnelle. Dans l'état actuel, je pourrai prétendre à environ 1300 euros par mois. C'est pas énorme mais je le savais en entrant à la Régie. Avec la décote, je perds 500 euros par mois. Je pourrai donc partir à 55 ans avec 800 euros par mois. Il me faudrait donc partir à 60 ans pour ne plus avoir de décote mais toujours pas le maximum d'annuités. J'ai pu me planter dans les calculs (suis nulle en maths) mais ce chiffre de 500 euros en moins par mois correspond à ce que tout le monde a calculé car ils ne sont plus si nombreux ceux qui partent avec le maximum d'annuités.		This number is on all mouths. We all computed our new pensions right. Now and after the reforms. We won't all take the maximum pension. I can leave at 55 years old with a proportional pension. Right now, I can get 1300€ a month. That's not a lot but I knew it when joining RATP. With the reforms, I'll lose 500€ a month. Thus I'll be able to leave when 55 with 800€ a month. I'd have to leave at 60 not to get a reduction of my pension, but I still won't have the maximum contribution number. I could have make a mistake in the computation (I'm bad at maths) but this 500€ figure is what everybody computed, since only a few still retire with maximum contributions.

That's the amount of money these workers are losing... quite staggering. Living on 800€ a month is very tough in France, impossible near Paris if one wants any comforts.

Re: Strike day in France (none / 1)

If they want comforts they can work: there are shelves to be stocked after all.
