The EPO's Local Staff Committee Munich (LSCMN) is planning an ongoing streak of cross-site strikes and an online so-called 'meeting' (Microsoft controls everything), which is scheduled for next week:

General Assembly, The President’s Re-Election - How much will it cost staff?

They're aiming to show Campinos the door, along with his enablers from Alicante. A year ago Campinos showed that not even cocaine at the higher echelons of the EPO can oust him, but can the staff prove him wrong? Will he fare well or better than Kongstad Chinchilla?

Schedule/plan (tentative) until the meeting that can introduce an actual rival (a hard task) to Campinos/Alicante:

SUEPO Munich Action Plan 2026

They plan to carry on until next year if not just the end of this year. Here are some of the issues to be discussed next week:

Dear Colleagues,

The Local Staff Committee Munich invites all staff to a General Assembly on Thursday 17 September, at 14.00 hrs to be held via  MS Teams.

Agenda:

The Administrative Council will meet on 13 and 14 October to decide on the re-election of Mr Campinos for a third mandate. The costs for staff include the new salary erosion procedure adopted in June. More is coming: a change of the distribution key of renewal fees to the advantage of Member States. This will impact the EPO finances and require staff to pay again the price.

The trade union SUEPO continues with the industrial action plan to fight the erosion of salaries, pensions and benefits with

If this is what they do when all indicators are green, what will they do when they are red?!

They cannot ignore us if we stand together

Add the Outlook invitation to your calendar

Please send your questions and comments in advance at  [redacted

Timing: 17 September, 14.00 hrs

They'll probably publish some slides after presenting these. █
