Should the ‘Plan Canicule’ be revised?

Considering the new recommendations from the German Minister of Health to better prepare hospitals and nursing homes for heatwaves, DP MPs André Bauler and Dr Gérard Schockmel have asked the Minister of Health whether the ‘Plan Canicule’ should also be adapted here in Luxembourg.

Question

Den däitsche Gesondheetsminister huet rezent Recommandatioune virgeluecht, fir Klinicken a Fleegeariichtungen besser op Hëtztwelle virzebereeden. Mat zouhuelendem Klimawandel wäert d’Hëtzt lues a lues zu engem bestännege Problem am Summer ginn. Dat verlaangt, datt een sech op dës Erausfuerderung virbereet, fir Patienten an eeler Leit sou gutt wéi méiglech ze schützen.

Virun deem Hannergrond wollte mir der Madamm Gesondheetsministesch follgend Froe stellen: 

  • Wéi gesäit de Moment d’Strategie vum Gesondheetsministère aus, fir d’Leit an de Klinicken an an de Fleegeariichtunge viru steigenden Temperaturen am Summer beschtméiglech ze protegéieren? Wat ass do déi konkret Virgoensweis?
  • Ass den aktuelle „Plan Canicule“ nach „up to date“ oder gëtt dru geduecht fir en an noer Zukunft ze iwwerschaffen?

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
