All denounce the programmed transfer of the collection of Agirc-Arrco contributions (more than 87 billion euros this year, deducted from 25 million private sector employees and donated to 13 million retirees) to Urssaf, which provides cash for Social Security. The reform, voted at the end of 2019, was to come into force at the beginning of 2023, despite the unanimous opposition of the social partners, from the CGT to the Medef. The government has just postponed this deadline for a year, by an amendment to the Social Security budget adopted in favor of a first 49.3 on the “revenue” part of the text, thus avoiding a heated debate with deputies who had voted a pure and simple repeal in committee.
