Press Statement IG Metall on the Pension Security Commission

Christiane Benner, President of IG Metall, comments on media reports regarding the findings of the Pension Security Commission (“Pension Commission”):

21 June 2026 21 June 2026

“IG Metall will carefully review the report as soon as it is officially available in order to arrive at an overall assessment. However, if there are plans to lower the contribution-based pension level and abolish the full pension without reductions after 45 years of insurance, this will meet with fierce opposition in the metal and electrical industries. These proposals ignore the working and living conditions of many employees in our companies.”
