The minister recalled that different trade unions presented very different formulas for replacing length of service.
Most favored recovery after three years (33% per year), but there were those who suggested 60% in the first two years and 40% in the last two years, or 25% per year. The stop, for example, protected economic recovery in just two years, that is, by 50% each year.
