Nekane, Paki and Maritxu


03 February 2021 - 09:42

All three have met in the afternoon to have coffee on a cold terrace, with capacity for four people. They've been friends for a long time, since they've done teaching studies together. They have talked about coronacrisis, the work is harder for everyone, and they perceive it more, because the years are more obvious. But there's another thing that concerns you: this year, you're 59 years old, and you're supposed to be able to retire at 60. But that will not be possible.

Nekane, who has to be quiet because she's a functionary, was forced to make time cuts frequently to take care of her children, and now she realizes that that has lowered her retirement contribution base, and although she's 23 years old she's not going to get to the 35 years she's being asked for, so she's going to have to continue working from the 1960s. The former husband, for his part, has 100 per cent contributions each year and will have no difficulty in retiring at the appropriate age.

"This year they will be 59 years old and they supposedly should be able to retire at 60. But that won't be possible."

Paki joined a municipal ikastola in Pamplona, where he became a municipal official. However, the incorporation of these ikastolas into the public network of educational centers of the Government of Navarra meant the functionalization of the staff in the General Social Security System and not in the Passive Classes like the rest of the civil servants. That is why, between 2012-2017, no retirement was possible at the age of 60 and, since then, thanks to an amendment to the 2018 general budgets, but that possibility will disappear in 2022, when he turns 60, even if he is 36 years old, he will have to retire at the age of 67.

Maritxu has always been in public centers, but hired. He has made many oppositions, he has overcome the majority, never having succeeded in becoming an official. In addition, he suffered from cancer 8 years ago, which significantly reduced his ability to memorize. The latest oppositions have made him worse, and the existing roster system is undergoing an unfair attack. In recent years he has only made replacements and paid less, making it difficult for him to retire.

On the other hand, they say that the pact signed in 2018 is not being complied with, for example, a third of the full day has not yet been cut to 60-year-olds. This would mean not having to be in the center (in that third) and that the day was more fluid. On the other hand, reductions in the working hours of private education teachers from the age of 61 should also be public, especially given that they are paid by the Department of Education.

Most colleagues don't know. You see that at the moment there are many teachers retiring at the age of 60, but they do not realize that from 2011 all officials will have to retire at the age of 67 (or perhaps 70). Furthermore, enrolment will fall in the coming years and cannot be seen from the future that young teachers may have.

Twilight cools even more. They take the last drink of coffee and dress up the kiss, they get fired without touching each other, waiting for them to embrace the retiree.

Strikes of glutamate

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
