France braced for major disruption as strikes over pensions hit airports, trains | CNN Business

Paris is expected to bear the brunt of the protests, with most lines on the metro running only at the busiest times, according to the city’s transport agency RATP. The main education trade union FSU said Sunday that 120 schools would close for the day and 60% of primary school teachers would be on strike in the French capital. France’s civil aviation authority, meanwhile, has asked airlines to reduce scheduled flights by 20% and 30% at Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports in Paris respectively.

” Philippe Martinez, secretary general of the CGT, the biggest French union, said in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche Sunday that unions “are moving up a gear” and he expected “that the mobilizations will continue and grow until the government listens to workers.” France has endured a series of strikes this year, as workers rail against President Emmanuel Macron’s planned pension reforms.

In Britain we just rolled over and accepted pension age increases. The government are reviewing whether to increase this again presumably in the hope that the poor will either be dead before they can claim their state pension or at least only claim it for a short time!

There are different tax brackets for different incomes ... why not different age brackets to start Pension/SocialSecurity? As income goes higher, age to apply for Pension / Social Security goes higher. Statistically, lower wage earners die younger. SenSchumer SenGillibrand

Move in the Turkey retirement age is dependence on the time you have started working and total time does not even matter.

Blame Brexit for France's increase in pension age. The UK (England really) hurled £12.6 billion into EU coffers in 2022 & will continue to do so into the 2060s. Brexit? What Brexit?
