Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Ces 50 dernières années, le pays a créé beaucoup trop d'emplois. Résultat : la population et le nombre de frontaliers ont explosé, l'immobilier est devenu inabordable et la circulation est devenue excessive. Le PIB ne mesure pas le bien-être. La solution : diminuer la création d'emplois.

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 : 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.
