By Chen Yu-fu / Staff reporterThe Alliance for Monitoring Pension Reform — a coalition of retired and incumbent military personnel, public servants and teachers — is to stage a rally on Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei today as a pension reform conference is held at the Presidential Office Building. Because of that, the alliance will express its opinions at a street rally, Huang said. “The pension reform proposal unveiled on Thursday outlines massive cuts to government spending on pensions,” Huang said. The government’s cuts would not stop at military personnel, public servants and teachers, he said. “If Chen has a tight schedule, perhaps Minister [Without Portfolio and Pension Reform Committee Executive Director] Lin Wan-i (林萬億) could take his place,” he said.
