Voluntary Reduction of Pension age for night shift workers who have worked for 15 years or more on shift

Why is this important?

Most research indicates that people who work night shifts have reduced life expectancy due to the impact of shift work on our health as well as the unsocial impact. We believe therefore need to retire earlier on a voluntary basis allowing those who volunteer to retire at 60.
The fact that night shift workers life expectancy is proven to be shorter than other workers then the impact on state finances should be no greater than those who retire after a life of working for example 9-5 all things considered and equal.
