The Luxembourg labour minister met with the social partners on 4 March at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Labour and Employment (CPTE).

Despite the demands of the trade union front – OGBL and LCGB – the subject of collective bargaining reform was not on the agenda of the meeting of the Standing Committee on Labour and Employment (CPTE) on 4 March. In a letter addressed to labour minister Georges Mischo, on 26 February, the unions had asked him to “guarantee the right of unions with national representation to sign and negotiate collective agreements” and demanded a “firm commitment” from him before any further discussion within the tripartite committee.
