On the initiative of the OGBL, an information meeting was organized on July 25th at 7:30 am at the headquarters of the construction company Manuel Cardoso in Kirchberg, Luxembourg. The purpose of the meeting was to inform the 110 employees as fully as possible about the situation of the company, which was probably heading for bankruptcy.

Immediately after receiving the first concerns expressed by the workers, the OGBL contacted the company’s management in order to obtain all the necessary information and to understand the seriousness of the situation.

At the information meeting held on July 25, OGBL representatives informed the workers of their rights in the context of this bankruptcy, which is expected to be declared in the next few days. The OGBL will provide assistance and support to the workers affected by the bankruptcy, particularly with regard to filing claims and other administrative formalities required in the event of bankruptcy, so that the workers can benefit as soon as possible from the benefits provided by law.

The OGBL has already contacted the employers’ organizations to try to place the workers with other companies that are looking for manpower as soon as possible.

Any workers who need further assistance in dealing with this delicate situation can of course contact the OGBL teams who will guide them through the process.
