(Finance) – There is controversy over the supplementary pension fund for school staff. The administration, in fact, is inducing 1.3 million teachers and Ata to join the Espero Fund integrative through the institute of silence-assent; procedure that the union Anief disputesreiterating that school staff must be free to decide. “Illegitimate method, we will give free assistance to say no.”
An event took place on the supplementary pension fund for Espero school workers unacceptable coup: November 16th, ARAN and the fund’s founding unions – all those representative of the sector, except ANIEF. have signed an aagreement introducing automatic enrolment to the Fund for teaching, ATA and educational staff hired from 1 September 2019 onwards, which he will have to pay 20 euros per month for 1,000 of arrears.
“They are trying to impose a payment system with the silent consent method, but if in almost twenty years only one school worker in ten has signed up there must be a reason” denounces Marcello Pacifico, President of Anief, adding “in our opinion, joining Espero alone is of little use if a more demanding supplementary pension is not created alongside it: it is enough to make some predictions, even with the Pension Scenario Simulator made available by INPS, to realize that the annuity that will guarantee this supplementary pension model will guarantee a truly modest annuity”.
“This is why Anief opposes the imposition decided on the Aran forty-eight hours ago: we are ready to have the text declared null and void in court and to give advice to all interested parties to renounce the silent consent, which was also approved – concludes Pacifico – without involving the school workers at all.”
