The government is aiming to
earmark six billion euros over three years for measures
affecting the pension and social security system, Labour
Minister Guliano Poletti said Wednesday. Speaking to trade
unions at the labour ministry, Poletti said "the government is
working to find the maximum support possible". The government
presented the unions with a five-page report on talks that have
stretched back several months. One of the key measures in next
year's budget is slated to be letting workers take pensions
three years earlier than they would have to according to a
contested 2011 reform, by taking out 20-year bank loans.
