Nora Back re-elected as president of Chamber of Employees

For the next five-year term, Back will be supported by vice-presidents Patrick Dury (LCGB) and Jean-Claude Reding (OGBL).

In her acceptance speech, Back emphasised several key priorities including education, child poverty, and tax reform. She stressed the need for expanded training opportunities and called for reforms in vocational training to better support apprentices.

Regarding tax policy, Back criticised the current system for exempting capital gains and heritage from taxes, labelling such exemptions as unjust and likely to persist in the foreseeable future.

Expressing disappointment in Prime Minister Frieden's recent announcements on housing and climate policy, Back characterised them as inadequate measures that fall short of true change, instead more resembling cost-cutting.

In the CSL's plenary session, which includes nine groups, OGBL holds the majority with 37 seats, followed by LCGB with 17 members, Aleba with 5 seats, and one representative from Syprolux.

The social elections saw a total of 617,000 eligible voters, of which approximately 210,000 employees and pensioners participated, marking a turnout of 34%. Among the elected members, 17 are cross-border workers, with 27 newcomers joining the committee.
