[06:31] schestowitz[TR2] [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] The plans include work-to-rule, demonstrations and strikes of all staff at the EPO on 30 January, 23 February, and 19 March to underscore the disapproval of staff towards the proposed new Salary Adjustment Procedure (SAP) for the period 2027-2032. [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] The new SAP 2027-2032 enhances the substantial and persistent erosion of salaries and pensions, caused by the SAP 2020-2026, confirmed by the EPOs own figures, with losses of purchasing power and deviations from actuarial assumptions. [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] The EPO is in an excellent financial situation, produces eyewatering surpluses, the pension schemes are fully covered, and staff productivity has increased to the highest level in history. There is absolutely no financial justification for additional savings - on top of all the long-term saving measures already implemented - and a further erosion of our salaries, not even in the opinion of the external consultants in the most recen [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] t financial study. [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] We expect the strike registration tool to be transparent and open in MyFIPS -> Time and Leave-> Strike registration to all staff regardless of any other leave already registered or working time arrangements. Undue barriers to any staff members participation must be removed, and all staff who express a desire to strike must be permitted to do so, with their participation being included in the statistics. [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] All SUEPO committees stand ready to withdraw their call for industrial actions, provided that the proposed SAP and the corresponding social dialogue show tangible and meaningful improvements. In the absence of such progress, further industrial actions of all staff will follow. [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] Read more about this letter (The Hague readers). [06:31] schestowitz[TR2] Read more about this letter (Munich readers).

    Think again, or your data sovereignty will be at risk.

    [08:07] schestowitz[TR2]

    Cryptography can indeed keep your private data safe, but only if you guard the keys privately and safely.

    [08:07] schestowitz[TR2]

    Microsoft's practice of uploading your keys to its own servers is the opposite of that.

    [08:07] schestowitz[TR2]

    That malpractice just makes it easier for Microsoft to comply with orders from terrorist governments that don't respect human rights.

    [08:07] schestowitz[TR2]

    But it's actually much worse than that!
