At sectoral level

At sectoral level, the OGBL Financial Sector plays an active role in the negotiation of collective agreements governing the financial sector in Luxembourg.

The sectoral collective agreements we negotiate include in particular :

• The Collective Agreement for Bank Employees
• Collective Agreement for Insurance Employees
• The Collective Agreement for Employees of the Caisse Médico-Chirurgicale
• The Collective Agreement for Employees of Worldline Financial Services (Europe) SA.

These collective agreements define essential standards for employees in the financial sector, covering aspects such as wages, working hours, holidays, vocational training, safety at work and much more. They are the result of negotiations between workers’ and employers’ representatives, aimed at ensuring fair working conditions.

As a trade union, our commitment is to ensure that these collective agreements are beneficial to workers in the financial sector and that they are properly applied. We work actively to maintain and improve the rights and benefits of employees in this vital sector of the Luxembourg economy.

The world of work is changing. But the importance of reliable and effective union representation remains the same.

If Luxembourg has experienced a boom in the tertiary economic sector in recent decades, it is due mainly to finance and services which have been growing significantly for many years and are now undergoing profound changes, that , with digitalisation, will only continue to increase.

As the leading union in the country, represented in every sector of the Luxembourg economy, we have the necessary experience and expertise to address these challenges and to help shape the working world’s digital future by putting employee interests first.
