Minister of Work, Kris Peeters (CD&V) hopes that the government loonakkoord between trade unions and employers can honor it. “The value of an IPA is not to be underestimated”, he said in ‘The Morning’ on Radio 1. Peeters lets understand that the agreements that the social partners made around the runways and around the former early retirement, wants to follow. Open Vld and N-VA are about that, not excited. Prime minister Charles Michel takes the positive news that the social partners have a loonakkoord have closed.

Last summer, decided the government Michel I, in the context of the jobsdeal to the minimum age for SWT to 59 years and 60 years in 2021. The social partners spoke now to that calendar around SWT to adapt. Also around the runways, for which the age according to the jobsdeal 60 would be brought out, the social partners have other arrangements made.

That the former early retirement remains possible from 58 years, is susceptible to Open Vld. This morning, responded to all federal member of parliament Egbert Lachaert on Twitter. He finds this “not defensible.” According to president Gwendolyn Rutten “buy the social partners have a piece of responsibility” by the early retirement again to relax.
