President of the OGBL
Between January and early March 2019, you will receive by post the electoral bulletin for the elections of the „Chambre des salariés“ (CSL), the national representation of all salaried employees.
I hope that there is one thing you will not do. Don’t throw the envelope and the electoral bulletin in the garbage.
Take a little time for the interests, the needs and the legitimate demands of all employees and their families. Participate in the elections!
Use your right to vote. A record participation will increase the weight of the CSL in public matters. The activities of the CSL have provided assistance for many years to the actions of the OGBL defending the interests of all employees and pensioners.
With these elections, we can send out a strong political signal. Towards the new government. And towards the employers. You can contribute.
Every vote for the Independent Trade Union Confederation of Luxembourg, for the OGBL, is a vote for the motor of social progress in Luxembourg.
These elections need to be a demonstration of strength: the strength of the interests, needs and demands of all salaried employees.
These elections need to be a signal of the strength and the willingness to act of the union.
Every vote in favour of the OGBL is a vote for the demonstration of this strength.
We need this strength and this momentum to stand up for our remuneration and work conditions. For more holidays and well regulated working hours in order to allow a better quality of life. For our social security. For a labor law that does more to securise our jobs and that prevents precarious work relations. For new rights concerning professional training. For good and affordable housing. And for the objective of the OGBL that every employee benefits from a collective bargaining agreement.
Every vote for the OGBL is a vote against trade union fragmentation. The segmentation of the trade union landscape weakens the interests of the salaried employees. It is a boon for the employers and helps those circles in politics and civil society, that work against the interests of the employees.
The OGBL will not disappoint you.
