PO-PSL in conflict over early retirement draft
The government decided to withdraw from the draft bill concerning maintaining the early retirement schemes for education sector employees for another 25 years, prepared by Labor Minister Jolanta Fedak of the Polish Peasants Party (PSL).
The head of the Civic Platform's (PO) parliamentary club Zbigniew Chlebowski openly criticized during a press conference the draft bill prepared by PSL stating, "There is no discussion about the early retirement schemes for teachers."
According to PSL, the whole confusion was caused by Prime Minister Donald Tusk who declared on Friday that a new solution will be prepared for the teachers. "Minister Fedak simply fulfilled the request made by the PM," said Janusz Piechociński of PSL. "If I understand correctly, this is a project from PSL. If the information from the press is true I will not accept such a solution," declared Donald Tusk yesterday.
Members of the Polish Teachers Union (ZNP) protested in front of the Sejm yesterday demanding the approval of the PSL draft bill.
