the employer and the CDU make a more solid Front against the pension plans of the Minister of labour, Hubertus Heil (SPD). “The coalition should take a basic annuity, if the dependency is to be tested,” said the President of the Confederation of German employers ‘ associations (BDA), Ingo Kramer, the Newspapers of the Funke media group.
Union leader Ralph Brinkhaus (CDU), insisted on a of healing is not provided for a means test. He was confident that the coalition will find a compromise.
“I’m optimistic that we can do something,” said brink, the house of the “New osnabrück newspaper”. The Union wanted to help the people, the hard working and at the end of the base backup would have to do. “We want to make sure that people don’t have to move out of your self-used and hard-earned house, in order to get their benefits.” Support to the watering can principle, reject the Union. “This would not only be very expensive, but would create new injustices.”
labour Minister healing wants to dispense with the basic pension on a means test – which is mentioned in the coalition agreement. His Plan provides for automatic pension supplements for low-wage earners who have paid at least 35 years of contributions. Also part-time work, children’s education and care times. Who has less than 896 Euro pension, would get up to 447 euros a month as a surcharge. This can cost around five billion euros in the year.
BDA President Kramer said that it couldn’t be that someone, “made of, for example, an Inheritance, or whose spouse is well cared for, the basic pension of the solidarity community to get”. At the same time, he warned, to mix basic security and a pension. The pension is set then, what someone pays. The reason the fuse will not serve by contrast, the coverage of the subsistence minimum, if the pension is sufficient.
