Little sympathy from OGBL
The government financial spending announcement on Friday, in particular with regards to indexation payments being reduced to once a year, was not at all to the liking of the OGBL union, and met with criticism.
(ADW) The government financial spending announcement on Friday, in particular with regards to indexation payments being reduced to once a year, was not at all to the liking of the OGBL union, and met with criticism.
OGBL President Jean-Claude Reding fears that come 2014, when the old system returns with several index payments per year, an entire tranche will be lost. Also, the OGBL considers measures relating to family policies inadequate.
Reding is looking for more clarity regarding the renewal of temporary contracts. However not all is doom and gloom, as OGBL was positive regarding adjustments to minimum wages.
On Friday, the government decided to go ahead and take measures to battle the ongoing crisis, despite the failure of the Tripartite due to the unions' boycott. Premier Jean-Claude Juncker had presented the new index regulations later that day.
