On 10 September 2024, VHP2 and the other unions reached an agreement in principle with the employers on the full transition from the old to the new pension scheme at PME. VHP2's negotiating delegation is satisfied with the result and considers it an important step towards a future-proof pension system.
The new scheme uses the Solidarity Premium Scheme (SPR), where risks and returns are shared among all members. This approach ensures collective interest and preserves solidarity within the pension fund. The ambition remains to achieve, after 40 years of participation, a pension of 75% of average salary, with the contribution rate remaining stable at 27.98%.
VHP2 submits this agreement with a positive opinion to its members for a vote. Members are invited to cast their vote and thus contribute to broad support for the new pension scheme.
