Leaked: An Out-of-Control EPO Union-Busting Parade of Battistelli Marches on in The Hague

The Hague Union-Busting
Click for full size



Summary: The Hague is officially seeing its staff union (of the EPO) busted by the thuggish President, who seems to know absolutely no bounds when it comes to violation of human (and labour) rights

UNDETERRED by his Chinchillas at the Administrative Council and unwilling to accept the demands made back in March, Battistelli's truly destructive EPO legacy gets written, and he hopes it'll be hidden from the public by posting the above internally.



"Battistelli isn't just a disgrace to the EPO but a disgrace to his country, to the whole of Europe, and the entire profession in which he takes part."Well, it's Friday. It means that the EPO should release some horrible news, as usual. For those who want to know the "sniper" reference ("Snipers of the Hague"), see Battistelli's utter distortion of facts about so-called "snipers" [1, 2, 3]; it's just as ludicrous as his misinterpretation of sports equipment ("weapon").

Battistelli isn't just a disgrace to the EPO but a disgrace to his country, to the whole of Europe, and the entire profession in which he takes part. It's increasingly insane that he's still keeping his job somehow, thanks in part to his pet chinchilla.

"And there is real control - by Big Ben himself, El Presidente," a person joked about Battistelli the other day. If that's alluding to Castro and the likes of him (maybe Pinochet), then it's actually more of an insult to Castro than to Battistelli.
