Needed Urgently: Information About the Secret Meeting of Board 28 and Battistelli's Yellow Union, FFPE-EPO

FFPE-EPO's very well attended [sic] meeting with members/sympathisers in Munich this month

FFPE-EPO yellow union meeting



Summary: Pursuit of information regarding two very recent meetings which help determine the future of the European Patent Office (EPO)

THE EPO is becoming ever more secretive. There are secret meetings, secret meeting minutes (if any), and this kind of clandestine operation of what's supposed to be a public service should not be tolerated by the European public.

We are still hoping that someone will send us leaks from the latest Board 28 (B28) meeting, which took place yesterday. All we have is this public comment which says: "Latest news? Well B28 met today and yesterday President and entourage had their first meeting under the MoU with represenatives [sic] of FFPE-EPO. Tick."

Well, the President's union, FFPE-EPO (yellow union), helped created pretense of dialogue in an effort to save the President's credibility if not his job. Notice the strategic timing again. See what we previously wrote about FFPE-EPO:

  1. In the EPO's Official Photo Op, “Only One of the Faces is Actually FFPE-EPO”
  2. Further Evidence Suggests and Shows Stronger Evidence That Team Battistelli Uses FFPE-EPO as 'Yellow Union' Against SUEPO
  3. “FFPE-EPO Was Set up About 9 Years Ago With Management Encouragement”
  4. Fallout of the FFPE EPO MoU With Battistelli's Circle
  5. The EPO's Media Strategy at Work: Union Feuds and Group Fracturing
  6. Caricature of the Day: Recognising FFPE EPO
  7. Union Syndicale Federale Slams FFPE-EPO for Helping Abusive EPO Management by Signing a Malicious, Divisive Document
  8. FFPE-EPO Says MoU With Battistelli Will “Defend Employment Conditions” (Updated)
  9. Their Masters' Voice (Who Block Techrights): FFPE-EPO Openly Discourages Members From Reading Techrights
  10. Letter Says EPO MoU “Raises Questions About FFPE's Credibility as a Federation of Genuine Staff Unions”
  11. On Day of Strike FFPE-EPO Reaffirms Status as Yellow (Fake/Management-Leaning) Union, Receives 'Gifts'


Does anyone have any details about this meeting of FFPE-EPO? Let alone the secret meeting of B28? Here is how to get in touch without risk of retribution. We have a decade-long perfect record of protecting sources.
