| schestowitz[TR2] | "Action Plan 2026 adopted to stop the salary erosion of EPO staff | Jan 21 03:23 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz[TR2] | Dear SUEPO members, | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Dear Colleagues, | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The first technical meeting on the new “future orientations on the salary adjustment procedure” took place on 14 January and the Central Staff Committee (CSC) published immediately a report on the meeting. An additional meeting took place on 19 January in the morning to discuss the simulations of the proposed new salary adjustment procedure. In the afternoon, SUEPO Munich held a General Assembly on the topic with its members. | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The simulations over the period 12-year period 2014-2025 show a further loss of purchasing power putting the EPO further down in the benchmark among International Organisations (see the presentation slides below): | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Salary Erosion Procedure: More erosion from 2026 onwards – Time for action | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Therefore, SUEPO Munich has proposed an updated industrial action plan to the assembly which adopted the plan. | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The plan starts with Work-To-Rule actions as of Tuesday 20 January. Work-To-Rule actions consisting in avoiding overtime, focusing on search or ensuring the best quality by applying thoroughly the EPC in intermediate actions instead of sending an expedited intention to grant. The Administrative Council delegations are particularly sensitive to the number of patents granted for which they receive a share of the renewal fees. | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | EPO staff worked well and faithfully. Instead of rewarding us for our efforts, the President will continue with the erosion of our salaries and pensions without any financial justification. | Jan 21 03:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It is time to put an end to this policy. Support the SUEPO Munich Action Plan 2026.' | Jan 21 03:23 |
