Susanna Camusso, the leader of
Italy's biggest trade-union confederation, the leftwing CGIL,
said Tuesday that the union will take action on December 2 due
to the "great inadequacies" of the government's proposals on
pensions and retirement.
She was speaking after talks with Premier Paolo Gentiloni's
government.
The union wants an increase in the retirement age to 67, set
to kick in in 2019, to be postponed, saying many people doing
heavy jobs should be exempted.
Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan has said only marginal
adjustments can be made without damaging the sustainability of
the system.
