Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Luxembourg (Ratification: 1958)

Comments from the Luxembourg Trade Union Organization (OGB-L). Part II of the Convention. Progressive abolition of fee-charging employment agencies. The Committee notes that the OGB-L indicates that, in the observations received in October 2012, a number of provisions of the Act of 31 July 2012 concerning temporary measures with respect to employment and unemployment, are not in conformity with the provisions of Convention No. 96, which is still in force in Luxembourg. In its direct request of 2010, the Committee drew the Government’s attention to the fact that, like other member States which had ratified Convention No. 96 and had accepted its Part II, Luxembourg had undertaken to progressively abolish fee-charging employment agencies. It had also hoped that the Government would soon be in a position to assume the obligations of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181). The Committee invites the Government to provide a report containing its own observations on the comments made by the OGB-L. The Committee also invites the Government to indicate any arrangements that are in place to ensure that temporary work placement activities in Luxembourg are in conformity with the provisions of Convention No. 96.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
