EPO Staff Union Organises Protest to Complain About Inability “of the Office to Recruit the Highly Qualified Staff it Needs.”

Recruitment barely seems to be a priority (except scabs) as internal gossips suggest layoffs are on the way

SUEPO reps



Summary: Having already targeted union leaders and staff representatives, the EPO may soon be going after those whom they passionately represented and the staff union (SUEPO) wants the Administrative Council to be aware

THE national delegates will soon come (as they do quarterly) to the EPO and SUEPO has just announced that "SUEPO Munich calls for a demonstration on the first day of the upcoming meeting of the Administrative Council on Wednesday 21 March at 12:30h in front of the Isar building. The aim of the demonstration is to appeal to the Council not to accept proposed changes in the working conditions that will hamper the ability of the Office to recruit the highly qualified staff it needs."



Hopefully a lot of staff will attend. Battistelli is already attempting to compel delegates to pass rule changes that facilitate immediate mass layoffs.
