Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide specific, written and factual reasons for rejecting job applicants. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Specific feedback: Identify the professional skills, qualifications, experience or assessment results decisive in the rejection. Generic explanations must not be considered sufficient. Clear justification: Distinguish between candidates who fail to meet essential requirements and qualified candidates rejected in favour of another applicant, specifying the decisive selection criteria. Documented selection criteria: Establish selection criteria before evaluating candidates and document recruitment decisions. Record retention: Retain recruitment assessments and decisions for a legally defined period, in compliance with data protection legislation. Independent review: Allow candidates to request an independent examination where reasonable grounds exist to suspect discrimination, favouritism or other irregularities. Enforcement: Establish reasonable deadlines for providing feedback, effective oversight mechanisms and proportionate sanctions for non-compliance. The required level of detail should reflect the stage reached in the recruitment process.

OBJECT : Our dogs are part of the family - they shouldn't be forced to wait alone outside the bakery, the butcher's or the gelateria. Problems: - Animals left outside are sometimes stolen - During heatwaves, being left tied up outside is dangerous for them. - Queues prolong the wait and cause stress for owners. The proposal - To allow dogs on a lead and under their owner's supervision into local shops (bakeries, butchers, ice-cream parlours, grocery shops), except in areas expressly prohibited for health or safety reasons - Introduce simple and practical rules: leashes compulsory; dogs permitted only if they do not disrupt service; no entry to preparation areas without a barrier; owners liable for any damage - Raise awareness amongst shopkeepers and the public about responsible behaviour (picking up after their dogs, keeping them on a leash, muzzling them if necessary)

OBJECT : Zurzeit nimmt das Abgeordnetenmandat 20 Wochenstunden politischen Urlaub in Anspruch. So mancher Bürgermeister/in hat bereits 40 Wochenstunden politischen Urlaub in seiner Gemeinde. Dies ergibt dann 60 Wochenstunden. In Luxemburg liegt die Wochenarbeitszeit auf 40 Stunden. Ziel der Petition ist es die politische Arbeit auf 40 Wochenstunden zu begrenzen. So darf ein Bürgermeister/in, welche/r bereits in seiner Gemeinde laut Gesetz 40. Wochenstunden politischen Urlaub von gesetzeswegen zusteht, keine weiteren Aktivitäten annehmen. Dies ermöglicht dann auch politische Arbeit auf mehr Menschen zu verteilen.
