Mitmachen

Seniorinnen und Senioren

Die IG Metall ist eine Gewerkschaft fürs Leben – auch für die Zeit des Ruhestands. Viele Mitglieder engagieren sich nach ihrem Renteneintritt weiter in der IG Metall. Was sie dort tun und wie man mitmachen kann.

IG Metall

Nach dem Berufsleben ist noch lange nicht Schluss: Mehrere hunderttausend Rentnerinnen und Rentner sind Mitglied der IG Metall.

Gemeinsam für eine gute Rente

Sie sorgen dafür, dass sie IG Metall in der Rentenpolitik gehört wird. In den letzten Jahren haben wir dadurch einiges erreicht: Grundrente, abschlagsfreie Rente ab 63, bessere Erwerbsminderungsrente.

Außerdem ist die IG Metall ein Ort, um im Ruhestand aktiv zu bleiben. Dafür gibt es in den IG Metall-Geschäftsstellen die Außerbetriebliche Gewerkschaftsarbeit, die „AGA“.

Außerbetriebliche Gewerkschaftsarbeit (AGA): Wir sind auch für Senioren und Erwerbslose da

Gemeinsam gut in Rente

Metallerinnen und Metaller engagieren sich dort für andere Mitglieder. Sie bieten Rentenberatung an. Sie bringen bei Warnstreiks Kaffee ans Werkstor. Sie helfen in der Nachbarschaft.

Und oft treffen sie sich einfach so: Zum Reden, Singen oder für gemeinsame Ausflüge.

Auch das ist Gewerkschaft.

Pension The four biggest myths about “retirement at 63”—and why they’re all wrong

IG Metall Vorstand Undeserved, unfair, too expensive? The full pension after 45 years of insurance contributions is hotly contested. A look at the facts shows that the critics are wrong. Those who want to abolish the “pension at 63” are diverting attention from the real injustices.

Pension Reform Partial retirement at risk: What employees need to know now

IG Metall Vorstand Partial retirement is an important path to retirement. However, the federal government wants to abolish the so-called “block model” of partial retirement. Why this plan fails to address the needs of many workers—and what IG Metall is calling for instead.

Pension Reform “Retirement at 63”: Why We Absolutely Must Keep It

IG Metall Vorstand Anyone who contributes to the pension fund for 45 years has earned their retirement. We should not compromise this principle. Otherwise, we risk massive injustices.

The Federal Government’s Reform Package Further Cuts for Employees Despite Relief

IG Metall Vorstand The coalition’s reform package presents a mixed picture. Alongside noticeable tax relief, it includes measures that infringe on workers’ rights. With the previously announced reforms to pensions, long-term care, and health care, a significant imbalance remains for insured individuals and employees.

Statutory Pension Raising the retirement age? These arguments speak against it

IG Metall Vorstand 68, 69, or even 70 years old: The federal government’s planned pension reform also includes a higher retirement age. This has little to do with the reality of working people’s lives. Our arguments against working endlessly.
