The Ministry of Labour has developed a draft of a legislative decree will be issued in the coming months, which state that the workers engaged in strenuous occupations, may retire with three years earlier than the limit of 60 years. The so-called work "arduous" are the types of occupations for which the law provides that a worker can retire early, since, precisely, the activity in question is more stressful than the average. Basic requirements for early retirement will therefore have at least 57 years of age and have at least 35 years of contributions with strenuous work activities. A reading of the related work, we note that was fixed the next 24 February, the limit to determine which categories may fall precisely between strenuous work.
Thus we see in the draft Decree-Law, which employees can take advantage of early retirement:
unhealthy work - Among these works are included in the work of gallery, quarry, mine, in the basement and even in the depths. The work carried out at high temperatures, of cells within air spaces and, activity of asbestos removal and processing of hollow glass.
assembly lines - Workers employed in industries in the production of series, workers bound to keep a certain pattern, workers who constantly repeat the same cycle working on separate parts of a final product.
drivers - The law considers just as "drivers" are drivers of heavy vehicles used for public passenger transport services; in the draft of the Ministry, was established as the minimum limit on the size of the target vehicle at least nine passengers.
night work - Any type of work carried out during the night, be considered as working time between the 24.00 and 5 am. In the latter category is the only node yet to be resolved on the decree to be issued soon and in the amount of night shifts to obtain the minimum early retirement. It would have been, Indeed, expected as a minimum roof to take advantage of early retirement to 80 Night working days during the calendar year, specifically with at least three hours between the 24 and 5 am.
However, considering the trade unions have proposed to limit too severe decrease in 64 nights per year. We'll see what the Ministry will decide on.
