Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Luxembourg (Ratification: 1958)

The Committee notes the observations of the Confederation of Christian Trade Unions of Luxembourg (LCGB) in a communication received on 3 November 2014.

Article 3 of the Convention. Right of workers’ organizations to elect their representatives in full freedom and to organize their activities and formulate their programmes. The Committee notes that the Bill to reform social dialogue within enterprises was submitted to the Chamber of Deputies on 25 February 2013 and is currently being debated. In this respect, the Committee notes the observations of the LCGB on various aspects of the Bill, and particularly on the fact that it would drastically reduce the means of action of trade unions that are not in a majority in enterprises. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in reply to the observations of the LCGB and to report on the discussions held as part of the process of adopting the Bill to reform social dialogue within enterprises in relation to the application of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
