Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : We ask the Luxembourg authorities to require air conditioning, or an equivalent effective cooling solution, in all schools. As temperatures rise, excessive heat in classrooms affects children's health, concentration and ability to learn. Every child deserves a safe, comfortable and effective learning environment. This petition calls for clear national temperature standards and urgent investment so that schools can remain open and learning can continue safely during periods of high heat.

OBJECT : La présente pétition demande que toute personne résidant au Luxembourg ayant exercé une activité professionnelle et cotisé à la sécurité sociale puisse continuer à bénéficier de l'assurance maladie après la fin de son emploi, même lorsqu'elle ne remplit pas les conditions pour bénéficier des indemnités de chômage. La perte d'un emploi ne devrait pas entraîner la perte de la couverture maladie pour une personne qui a travaillé et participé au financement du système de sécurité sociale. Il est demandé de mettre en place un maintien automatique de l'affiliation à l'assurance maladie pour les personnes sans emploi qui restent inscrites comme demandeurs d'emploi et recherchent activement un nouvel emploi, indépendamment de leur droit ou non aux indemnités de chômage.

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide clear, specific and objective justifications for every mandatory language requirement included in a job advertisement. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Job-related justification: Each mandatory language requirement must be justified by specific professional duties, such as communication with clients, colleagues, public authorities or other stakeholders. Proportional proficiency levels: Employers must justify not only the language required but also the requested proficiency level, using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Distinction between essential and desirable skills: Languages that are useful but not essential for performing the job must be identified as desirable rather than mandatory. Transparent job advertisements: Justifications must be included directly in job descriptions, allowing applicants to understand why the specified language skills are necessary. Prevention of arbitrary requirements: Language requirements must be proportionate to the actual responsibilities of the position and must not create unjustified barriers to employment. Oversight and enforcement: Competent authorities must be empowered to examine potentially unjustified language requirements and impose proportionate sanctions for non-compliance.
