The OGBL invites itself to the election campaign

With the local elections barely behind us, another round of voting is on the horizon. On October 11, Luxembourg‘s voters will once again go to the polls, this time to decide the country‘s general political direction for the next five years. These are, of course, the parliamentary elections. The countdown has already begun. The various political parties participating in the elections have already started or are about to start their campaigns.

The policies of the next coalition that will emerge from these elections – what it will do and what it will not do – will of course, as always, have a direct impact on the world of work and on the hundreds of thousands of workers and pensioners in Luxembourg, whether they are Luxembourg nationals, live abroad or work as cross-border commuters. It goes without saying that these elections are of great interest to the country‘s largest trade union.

For this reason, the OGBL has decided to take part in this election campaign by first presenting its main demands to the various political parties, to which we are dedicating this dossier of the Aktuell. The OGBL‘s demands for these legislative elections do not cover the entire spectrum of governmental competences. They focus exclusively on the most important issues that affect workers, pensioners and their families in their daily lives – in other words, precisely the area of competence of the OGBL.

All political parties are welcome to adopt this list of demands, without any restrictions. Plagiarism is even explicitly welcome.
