'Give older workers lighter tasks'
Thursday 04 September 2008
People involved in physically heavy jobs, such as construction work, should be able to switch to lighter tasks so they can continue to work after they are 62, says social affairs minister Piet Hein Donner.
Unions say plans to give people more pension money if they stay in work longer discriminate against people doing hard work because their bodies cannot physically continue, reports news agency ANP.

Can you have more than one social affairs minister? That seems like a pretty light task. Seems to involve blowing out a lot of hot air and making silly suggestions.
