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

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. The right of workers’ organizations to elect their representatives in full freedom, and to freely organize their activities and to formulate their programmes. The Committee previously referred to the 2016 observations of the Confederation of Christian Trade Unions of Luxembourg (LCGB) expressing regret that the new Act reforming social dialogue within enterprises entered into force in the absence of the Grand Ducal Regulations for its implementation, which are envisaged in various provisions, and indicating that this situation is hampering the exercise of trade union rights. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that three Grand Ducal Regulations, implementing sections L.412-2, L.413-1 and L.416-1 of the Labour Code, are in the course of adoption in 2017 within the framework of the legislative procedure. The Committee also notes that the procedures for votes by correspondence, about which the LCGB expressed concern, are specified in the draft Grand Ducal Regulations in relation to the election procedures for staff delegates. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any progress made in the adoption of the above draft Regulations and to report on any draft regulations on the new mediation procedure under section L.417-3 of the Labour Code.
