Official numbers indicate a total of 7222 strike days accumulated between January 30th and April 20th. Grants were down in double digits in February and March, and production is down 8025 products at the time of writing. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] Despite the strong signals of dissatisfaction from staff, the President came empty handed to the meeting of April 23rd and was not open to hearing the proposals of SUEPO on the Salary Adjustment Procedure (SAP). Instead, our colleagues are reporting that pressure is now being exerted by management to prioritize potential direct grants probably to counter the drastic drop described above. The loss of capacity due to strike days ha [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] s a significant impact on the production numbers an area where the management are showing their nerves. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] The action plan therefore continues, with the next recommended strike Anchor Day planned for International Workers Day, Friday May 1st, which is not a public holiday in The Hague. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] The action plan further includes a call to all staff to strike 23 days*, on any days of the week, until the end of June and work-to-rule. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] Further disruption is needed for the Administration to come to the negotiating table, and all work not done due to industrial actions should not be compensated for, neither by yourself nor by your colleagues. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] Please note the guide to production pressure at a time of industrial actions, and do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] Read the full paper here and install the MSTEAMS background. [17:15] schestowitz[TR3] *23 days might seem like a lot, and we wish to remind you that we have lost the equivalent of 100 days of strike per employee since the present SAP was introduced."
