Neutral Union Of Luxembourg
The Neutral Union of Luxembourg ( lb, Neutral Gewerkschaft Lëtzebuerg, NGL) was a general union in Luxembourg. The union was founded in 1946, as a trade association for iron and steel workers, committed to political neutrality. In 1960, it registered as a trade union, and in 1984 it began admitting all workers, adopting the NGL name for the first time. By 1990, it had 5,000 members, but it had failed in its efforts to become a broader trade union confederation, hampered by internal conflicts, and the fact that it had failed to gain national-level recognition as a representative of manual workers. While the union remained neutral, it made Alternative Democratic Reform Party politician Gaston Gibéryen its honorary president. In 2003, the union formed a new federation with the Luxembourg Association of Banking and Insurance Employees The Luxembourg Association of Banking and Insurance Employees (french: Association Luxembourgeoise des Employés des Banques et Assurances, ALEBA) i ...

General Union
A general union is a trade union (called ''labor union'' in American English) which represents workers from all industries and companies, rather than just one organisation or a particular sector, as in a craft union or industrial union. A general union differs from a union federation or trades council in that its members are individuals, not unions. The creation of general unions, from the early nineteenth century in the United Kingdom and somewhat later elsewhere, occurred around the same time as efforts began to unionise workers in new industries, in particular those where employment could be irregular. Proponents of general unions claim that their broader range of members allows more opportunities for solidarity action and better coordination in general strikes and the like. Detractors claim that the broader remit means they tend to be more bureaucratic and respond less effectively to events in a single industry. In the United Kingdom, general unions include the GMB and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trade Union
A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch. I such as attaining better wages and benefits (such as holiday, health care, and retirement), improving working conditions, improving safety standards, establishing complaint procedures, developing rules governing status of employees (rules governing promotions, just-cause conditions for termination) and protecting the integrity of their trade through the increased bargaining power wielded by solidarity among workers. Trade unions typically fund their head office and legal team functions through regularly imposed fees called ''union dues''. The delegate staff of the trade union representation in the workforce are usually made up of workplace volunteers who are often appointed by members in democratic elections. The trade union, through an elected leadership and bargaining committee, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alternative Democratic Reform Party
The Alternative Democratic Reform Party (ADR; lb, Alternativ Demokratesch Reformpartei, french: Parti réformiste d'alternative démocratique, german: Alternative Demokratische Reformpartei) is a conservative and mildly populist political party in Luxembourg. It has four seats in the sixty-seat Chamber of Deputies, making it the fifth-largest party. The party was founded in 1987, as a single-issue party from demanding equality of state pension provision between civil servants and all other citizens. In the 1989 election, it won four seats, and established itself as a political force. It peaked at seven seats in 1999, due to mistrust of politicians failing to resolve the pensions gap, before falling back to four today. Its significance on a national level makes it the most successful pensioners' party in western Europe. Political success has required the ADR to develop positions on all matters of public policy, developing an anti-establishment, conservative platform. It h ...

Luxembourg Association Of Banking And Insurance Employees
The Luxembourg Association of Banking and Insurance Employees (french: Association Luxembourgeoise des Employés des Banques et Assurances, ALEBA) is a trade union representing workers in the finance sector in Luxembourg. The union was founded in 1918, and in 1920, it became part of the Federation of Private Employees (FEP). After World War II, the banking sector in Luxembourg grew rapidly, and the union's membership grew. In 1978, the union split away from the FEP and became an independent union again. Much of the leadership of the union left to join the new Independent Luxembourg Trade Union Confederation. By 1990, 70% of workers in the finance sector in Luxembourg held membership of the union, which stood at about 10,000.

General Unions
A general officer is an officer of high rank in the armies, and in some nations' air forces, space forces, and marines or naval infantry. In some usages the term "general officer" refers to a rank above colonel."general, adj. and n.". OED Online. March 2021. Oxford University Press. https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/77489?rskey=dCKrg4&result=1 (accessed May 11, 2021) The term ''general'' is used in two ways: as the generic title for all grades of general officer and as a specific rank. It originates in the 16th century, as a shortening of ''captain general'', which rank was taken from Middle French ''capitaine général''. The adjective ''general'' had been affixed to officer designations since the late medieval period to indicate relative superiority or an extended jurisdiction. Today, the title of ''general'' is known in some countries as a four-star rank. However, different countries use different systems of stars or other insignia for senior ranks.

Trade Unions Established In 1946
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products an ...
