From tax burdens to job insecurity, freelancers and self-employed workers in Luxembourg face growing pressures. The Union des Indépendants founder Clara Moraru tells Melissa Dalton on Today Radio how her group is stepping in to help.
Melissa Dalton from Today Radio recently sat down with Clara Moraru, founder of the Union des Indépendants, a non-profit organisation advocating for the rights and interests of independent workers across Luxembourg. Launched in 2024, the union already brings together around 1,700 members from a wide range of sectors, including the arts, translation, consulting, health and wellness, and education, among others.
It is estimated that Luxembourg is home to between 29,000 and 39,000 independent workers, freelancers, and self-employed individuals.
