Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Malgré une pénurie croissante de personnel soignant au Luxembourg, de nombreux aides-soignants qualifiés se voient privés de toute possibilité d'évolution vers les métiers d'infirmier ou de technicien de santé, faute de formations accessibles en cours d'emploi. La présente pétition a pour objet de demander la mise en place, au Luxembourg, de formations qualifiantes en cours d'emploi permettant aux aides-soignants d'accéder aux professions d'infirmier ou de technicien de santé. Actuellement, les parcours de formation existants nécessitent un engagement à temps plein, impliquant un arrêt de l'activité professionnelle. Cette organisation constitue un obstacle majeur pour de nombreux aides-soignants expérimentés, notamment ceux ayant des responsabilités familiales et financières, et rend de facto toute évolution professionnelle difficilement accessible. Dans un contexte de besoins croissants en personnel qualifié dans le secteur des soins, il apparaît nécessaire de permettre aux professionnels déjà en activité de bénéficier de dispositifs de formation adaptés à leur situation. La pétition vise dès lors à promouvoir la création de formations en cours d'emploi, notamment sous forme de parcours en alternance ou modulaires, permettant : * l'accès aux professions d'infirmier ou de technicien de santé, * la reconnaissance des acquis de l'expérience professionnelle, * le maintien d'une activité salariée, * un accès progressif et encadré aux qualifications visées. Une telle mesure contribuerait à renforcer durablement les effectifs dans le secteur de la santé, tout en valorisant les compétences déjà présentes sur le terrain.

OBJECT : It is 2026, and we continue to see cigarette ends and other litter on the ground every day. Despite the 2012 law, which was tightened in 2022, some people continue to throw their cigarette ends on the ground without facing any consequences. This pollution, which is entirely preventable, should no longer be happening in 2026. (It is hard to understand how some people can still do this in full knowledge of the law...) Solutions must be found urgently to enforce the law. Without fines, attitudes will not change, despite the various awareness campaigns. Proof in action: Speed cameras help to reduce speeding. Breathalyser checks help to reduce alcohol abuse. Etc. We must therefore introduce police checks and issue fines to those who continue to throw away their cigarette ends or other litter. As a reminder, Singapore sets an example for us all. Throwing away a cigarette end is punishable by a fine of EUR12,400 and several hours of community service. Conclusion: no cigarette ends or chewing gum on the ground.

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to introduce, in Luxembourg, a legal framework for collective supplementary health insurance for employees in the private sector. This framework should provide for the following principles: 1. An obligation, for companies reaching a minimum employee threshold, to offer their employees collective supplementary health insurance; 2. A minimum employer contribution of 50% of the cost of the employee's basic coverage; 3. For companies with more than 100 employees, the possibility to offer three different levels of coverage adapted to employees' needs, provided that the price of the highest level does not exceed more than 100% above the lowest level; 4. Freedom of choice for employees, including: * joining the basic coverage; * optional extension to family members under negotiated conditions; * the possibility of exemption, exclusively where equivalent coverage already exists, notably through a spouse, another employer or a foreign scheme; 5. Tax neutrality, ensuring that the share paid by the employee benefits from tax treatment at least equivalent to that applicable to individually subscribed supplementary health insurance; 6. Adaptation according to company size, in order not to impose disproportionate administrative burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises; 7. Early application or specific mechanisms for companies employing staff in risk-related positions or under particularly demanding working conditions. These measures aim to improve access to healthcare, reduce household financial burden, strengthen fairness between employees, and reconcile social protection with economic competitiveness.
