Trade unions opposed the increase in retirement age at a meeting of the Russian tripartite commission on June 16. The leader of the Russian trade unions, Mikhail Shmakov, said that the bill on raising the retirement age distorts the May decree of the President of 2018:.
"The people who draft this bill have other incomes, and they will be fine.
To start such a project, it makes sense at the beginning to dramatically increase pensions, and then work out what is prescribed in the decree ".
The Chairman of the FNPR named the bill "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on the Issues of Appointment and Payment of Pensions" antisocial and harmful for the country's economy: the main reserve for the replenishment of the pension fund is an increase in wages and the withdrawal of business from the shadow.
