For a prosperous future!
The OGBL is calling for fair salaries based on skills and experience, arguing for a transition to collective salary rises to retain talent, with demands such as a competitive system, increases for all, an equal salary allowance, and the retention of automatic indexation.
The OGBL emphasises the importance of offering opportunities for skills development, retraining and acquiring digital skills. The OGBL advocates an individual right to training, a reform of skills-based salary, and securing career paths by strengthening social dialogue.
OGBL advocates flexible working arrangements to foster a supportive environment, encouraging a work-life balance in the financial sector. The OGBL calls for a legal framework for atypical work, while emphasising that reducing working time, while preserving salary, improves professional quality, stimulates work motivation and strengthens economic competitiveness. Emphasis is placed on the right to part-time work guaranteeing a return to full-time work.
The OGBL emphasizes the importance of collective agreements in a sector led by major international groups, asserting that such agreements are essential to promote social peace, guarantee fair working conditions and meet the interests of employees and employers. The OGBL’s commitment to extending the scope of collective agreements aims to ensure fair conditions for all workers in the financial sector, thereby strengthening unity and social cohesion.
OGBL encourages a balanced working environment by promoting social dialogue, co-determination and the strengthening of trade union rights. The union emphasizes prevention, supports balanced social dialogue to ensure employees’ health, while advocating the protection of fundamental trade union rights and social security. It also defends human control of artificial intelligence and calls for measures in favour of mental health, employee well-being, and benefits such as supplementary insurance and retirement schemes.
The OGBL advocates maintaining Luxembourg’s financial excellence by preserving its attractive advantages for foreign investors. At the same time, it stresses the importance of preserving indexation without manipulation to guarantee political stability. The union is also calling for European directives to be adapted to Luxembourg’s geopolitical realities, rejecting any proposal to lower working conditions or fail to respect due diligence rights in order to remain competitive in the European context.
