Civil servants in Greece staged another 24-hour strike -- their eighth this year -- against pay cuts, tax increases and a pensions freeze, and British public employees were told they would have to pay more and possibly work longer for a pension. However, British Prime Minister David Cameron's government, under fire from middle-class supporters over plans to scrap child benefit for higher earners, hinted that some planned spending cuts may take effect more slowly than first announced. Many European governments are moving to raise the retirement age and contain pension costs as they try to repair public finances severely strained by the financial crisis and cope with the challenges of aging societies. Protest strikes and demonstrations have so far failed to force governments to roll back austerity measures and economic reforms which European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet said were "absolutely necessary." A day after French rail unions called for rolling strikes, renewable daily, from next Tuesday, Sarkozy's office said the government would amend its pensions bill to ease the impact on parents who take career breaks to raise children. In a 3.4 billion euro ($4.76 billion) concession, to be financed by higher capital gains tax on property sales, those working mothers will receive a full pension from 65 at the latest, instead of 67, for a five-year transition period. The reformist CFDT union welcomed the move, which Labour Minister Eric Woerth said would benefit about 130,000 mothers. But the communist-led CGT union vowed to go ahead with the transport strikes and called an open-ended walkout in the petrochemical industry from October 12 against the pension reform. "This shows there is still room for movement, and that our mobilization can still move the battle lines on a bill which we were told was perfect," CGT General Secretary Bernard Thibault told a news conference. Unions at flag carrier Air France said they would join Tuesday's 24-hour strike. Strikers are also blocking France's key oil port and stoppages spread to the refining sector on Thursday in protests that have pushed European gasoline prices to a five-month high. GESTURE Sarkozy's gesture appeared aimed at limiting support for next week's strikes and national day of protest, and averting any revolt by centrists in the upper house of parliament, the Senate, where his UMP party lacks an absolute majority. It was also an attempt to defuse criticism that the bill is unfair to women, who earn less on average and often have to work until older than men for a full pension. However, the government has insisted it will not back down on the key pillars of the reform: raising the minimum retirement age to 62 from 60 by 2018, raising the maximum age at which people receive a full pension to 67 from 65, requiring 41.5 instead of 40.5 contribution years, and increasing civil servants' contributions to private sector levels by 2020. In Greece, tax offices, schools and some public services shut down, while hospitals worked with emergency staff, and flights to and from Greek airports were to be grounded for four hours in protest at EU/IMF-prescribed austerity measures. 1 2 Next World France     Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
