Trade unions and government met today to sign an agreement that brings an end to a sectoral dispute concerning employment procedures at Post Luxembourg.
The trade union for Luxembourg’s Post & Telegraph, represented by its president, Jean-Marie Heyder, and the General Confederation of Public Employees (CGFP), represented by its secretary general, Steve Heiliger, and the government represented by Serge Allegrezza, director of Statec.
The dispute related to the status or the scheme under which the company's employees were recruited between 2010 and 2016. The agreement was concluded in the framework of a mediation organised under the auspices of the Council of State on the basis of the amended law of 16 April 1979 regulating strikes in State services and public establishments under the direct control of the State.
The agreement was signed in the presence of Agnes Durdu, Vice-President of the Council of State, and Marc Colas, Councilor of State, who, following the failure of the proceedings before the Conciliation Commission, 2 March 2017, as mediator by order of 15 March 2017 of the President of the Council of State, Georges Wivenes.
This is the last dispute to be evacuated according to this procedure, which was restructured by the Law of 25 March 2015 amending inter alia the Law of 16 April 1979 regulating strikes in State services and Public institutions under the direct control of the State. It will henceforth be up to the President of the Superior Court of Justice to act, if necessary, as mediator in the event of the failure of the conciliation procedure.
