schestowitzEarly this year, SUEPO called for actions supported by the Central Staff Committee (CSC). The main reason for discontent with the EPO present administration led by Mr. Campinos during the last four years follows his flawed Financial Study of 2019 made by Oliver Wyman & Mercer and the consequent reforms. The new salary adjustment procedure causes a disastrous immediate and long-term loss of purchasing power and denies the massive efforts made by May 15 17:36
schestowitzEPO staff during the last two pandemic years.May 15 17:36
schestowitzThe inflation in the Netherlands of 11.2% and in Germany of 7.8% over the last 12 months accounts for far more than a double step reward (on average 1 step equals 2%). Less than 60% of eligible staff (actually less than 50% of all staff) may receive a single step let alone a double step this year. This is the worst year in the career of EPO staff which comes at the time when staff worked diligently through the worst pandemic of the century and May 15 17:36
schestowitzthe worst inflation since the EPO inception.May 15 17:36
schestowitzThe ‘Work-to-Rule Actions’ are proving successful and the Focus on search actions is effective. The actions are drawing the attention of the Administrative Council and external stakeholders thereby persuading management to take staff’s concerns seriously. Actions continue.May 15 17:36
