RETIRED PUBLIC PERSONNEL PROTEST OUTSIDE PENSION REFORM MEETING|年金改革會議 退休軍公教聚場外抗議

The pension reform meeting held by the end of last year ended in chaos, with labor groups protesting outside the venue. The military, civil servants and teacher's groups called upon hundreds of people to take to the street to protest, criticizing that the government is promoting fake reform and real struggle, so the civil servants would not be able to enjoy a stable retired life. Labor groups also criticized the Pension Reform Committee that by cutting the pension and asking workers to pay more but get less, its proposal is in favor of the employers, and is therefore an act of fake democracy. The retired military, public and teaching personnel threw eggs at the venue of the pension reform meeting to express their anger, criticizing that the government breached their trust and deprived them of their rights. Labor groups also questioned that no grass-root workers were invited to participate in the pension reform meeting. In addition, the current reform plan is to increase the labor insurance premium rate from 12% to 18.5%, which would cause heavier burdens on workers and lower the payment, so it is in favor of the employers. Labor and public groups claimed that they would continue to protest at every pension reform meeting, and demanded that the government listen to their voice. TRANSLATED BY：LUKE CHIANG 年金改革，去年底最後一次會議，不只場內爭論激烈，場外，同樣砲聲轟隆。軍公教團體，號召上百人抗議，批評政府，是假改革、真鬥爭，讓公務員老年生活，不得安穩。而勞團也不滿，痛批年改會，所提的方案，是要砍年金，讓勞工繳多、領少，卻圖利資方，根本是假民主。 軍公教退休人員，朝年金改革會議場內，丟擲雞蛋，表達憤怒，痛批評政府毀約背信，剝奪公務員的權益，勞工團體也質疑,受邀參加的年改會議的成員，缺乏基層勞工的參與，而且，目前提出勞保年金改革方案，是把增加勞保費率，從12％提高到18.5%，只會加重勞工負擔，降低年金給付，根本是圖利資方。勞工和軍公教團體揚言今年起的每一次年金改革會議，都會繼續動員抗議，要政府正視他們的心聲。 記者 綜合報導
