“This is not merely a financial or fiscal measure. It is a serious and long-standing injustice against people who served the State under special, demanding, and often dangerous conditions,” the Branch states.
It adds that “it is unthinkable that people who, due to the nature of their duties and their special service status, are required to retire from active service before the age of 65, should then suffer a 12% cut to their pension.”
The Police Branch of the ISOTITA Union states that “this injustice must be abolished without hesitation.”
