The government on Tuesday called trade unions to a meeting Friday to examine pension moves in the 2017 budget bill, the government said in a statement. A meeting has been called for 08:00 on October 14, it said. Premier Matteo Renzi has switched from his initial position and is now consulting the big three union federations - CGIL, CISL and UIL - on pension reforms including letting people near pension age retire earlier on lower pensions and giving preferential treatment to people in physically demanding jobs.
