So I guess the fact their clerks could keep that possibility is a way to make sure they keep quiet about their bosses' advantages.

Actually, the regime for notary clerk is older (1937) than french social security (1945) and includes a "smart" funding scheme: part of it is funded by a direct 4% tax on the revenue of the offices, instead of being entirely proportional to salaries paid. This kept the money flowing when the word processor came in and slashed to work force (cos legal really isn't much more than word processing).

Nota : that is the main reasons the RATP and SNCF pension plans are particular too : they are older than the general pensions. The reasons the clerks get to keep it is that they are a right-wing constituency and that they aren't so numerous, I guess...

No, they don't get to keep it. It's about to get busted in the reform (well, just the pension part of it, so far)
