A final SEBAC agreement will overturn redundancy decisions issued since April, provide four years of protection against redundancy and extend public health care and health care for retirees by five years. C. A compromise on pensions with an UpsidePension was the most difficult aspect of the discussions, because the parties did not come from their common basis. The administration has strived to achieve enormous savings through immediate and devastating changes to pension benefits for almost all current employees. They attempted to delay the COLA by five years for all new retirees, to immediately increase the retirement age for Levels II and IIA by three years, by generating past and future years of service, by eliminating all overtime and a number of other pension payments, and by creating a new maximum for the calculation of income to retirement. They tried to immediately ask for 25 or 50 years of age from all the employees of the dangerous service. They were aiming for a new phase III, which not only took all these changes into account, but had an average of five years instead of three, and a new starting age in pre-retirement from 60 to 15 years of service. Finally, they aimed for a 20% contribution share for all new retirees, including those who worked until retirement age. We have tried to protect the calculated expectations of current employees, even beyond the current expiry of the contract in 2017 (if nothing is actually settled legally). We have also tried to correct the current Phase II endpoint, a complex formula in the current agreement that, over time, reduces the pension benefits of current workers, particularly those of low-paid workers. The result was a difficult compromise, but in line with our basic principles and with considerable advantage. Any SEBAC chord can be downloaded to the right button.
