The Eurogroup is planning on increasing the age of retirement to 67 for workers in professions having to do with cleaning, asphalt, marbles, operation of heavy machinery etc. Even though builders are for now excluded due to PAME and the Builders Union actions, this does not mean that this is off the table.
