General Federation of Workers Trade Unions in Bahrain opposes amendments to pension law

The trade union said the amendments threaten the rights and achievements of pensioners, such as annual increments, early retirement, and increased contribution rates. 

 

The federation called on the government to adopt a decent work programme that would allow the recruitment of the unemployed and thus consolidate the financing of social funds by increasing contributions.

 

It is worth noting that the amendments to the pension law have been widely criticised by several political parties who accuse the government of wanting to make the citizens pay for the results of its social fund management policies.
