According to a new report from the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC), a number of factors have contributed to the continuous decrease of influence held by unions.

For one, mass production practices have significantly evolved in recent decades, which means that fewer people are needed thanks to more advanced technology. For another, the continuous digitalisation of the workplace has changed the landscape of job offers.

In Luxembourg, the number of resident employees affiliated with a union has decreased by more than a third in the last decade. Of those that have an affiliation, 45% are registered with the Independent Luxembourg Trade Union Confederation (OGBL), 26% with the Luxembourg Confederation of Christian Trade Unions (LCGB), and 20% with the Confederation of Public Servants (CGFP).
