Lenert sees the government’s failures in the social dialogue

The LSAP politician Paulette Lenert sees the government’s omissions in dialogue with the unions. There is a « lack of communication » on central issues of the welfare state, such as collective agreements and retirement debate, Lenert said on Tuesday morning at RTL. « It is more the way it gets, » complains Lenert. Government representatives, for example, were represented at celebrations for the day of work, but the rich did not end, the union representatives were still inadequate. « It is already unrest in the country, » said Lenert; There were also contradictory statements from the government parties.

The strong voice of the unions is needed if the government wants to manage a pension reform. « For me, I need to clarify what will be the role of the unions in the collective contracts in the future; I mean, the alarm bells have been tackled, » said Lenert. The goal must be a discourse that leads to more collective contracts, because these are important for the attractiveness of the Luxembourg labor location.

There are deficits, especially in the Horeca area. A central problem is the too expensive and scarce living space, which is why many cross -border commuters in the catering trade are forced to drive far at night. There are changes here, because « many problems we have, eventually result in this cause ». Lenert emphasizes: « The percentage of apartments that is available for affordable housing is simply too small, » said the LSAP politician.
