10% of pensioners receive 25% of total pension payouts

1. Pension cap, Swiss applied it on a ridiculous level, but a high cap is required to prevent this.

2. Pensions should be capped in a similar way to the unemployment benefit, x2 or x2.5 times the minimum salary.

3. Pension reform is about the future. Politicians need to take the long view.
   They will not tamper with existing pensioners as they are the voters they rely on.

   So the future

   Education years. Should that include Masters and PHD

   Increase the age of retirement, slowly but regularly

   How many paternity years should be included

   Reduce the pension for future civil servants.

   Has anyone got other simple things that can be done,

4. Blabla this is the UEL speaking. What they say isn’t true. They just try to do everyhting against employees as always. To them employees are just a financial burden. The CSL published totally different numbers. I don’t know one single civil servant who has a 8.000k pension. The maximum net salary for a civil servant is around that number. It’s impossible to have a pension that high unless you have had a political career on the side. And the article is confusing. Because civil servant pensions are not paid by the general pension system. Plus the pension system works like an insurance system: you pay more, you get more. You can’t just limit someone’s pension with their argument.

5. Always nice to see old folks in Porsches. Good for them 😉

6. They already did reduce pensions, but most of those who will be affected are still working : “ As these current civil servants retire, the gap between civil servant and general pensions is expected to narrow.”
