PRESS RELEASE No 139/20

Luxembourg, 18 November 2020

Judgment in Case C-463/19 Syndicat CFTC v CPAM de Moselle and Others

A national collective agreement may reserve to mothers alone an additional maternity leave It must nevertheless be demonstrated that that additional leave seeks to protect female workers from the effects of pregnancy and motherhood

Syndicat CFTC du personnel de la Caisse primaire d’assurance maladie de la Moselle (CFTC Union of the Local Sickness Insurance Fund of the Moselle; ‘Syndicat CFTC’) disputes the refusal by the Caisse primaire d’assurance maladie de Moselle (Local Sickness Insurance Fund of the Moselle) to grant to the father of a child the leave for female workers who bring up their children on their own, as provided for in the National Collective Labour Agreement for staff of social security bodies.
