Battistelli’s and Bergot’s Unforgettable Attack on the Right to Strike Still Defended by the ‘Nice’ President Campinos

Posted in Europe, Patents at 11:14 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

He also keeps Elodie Bergot in her position, which says a lot about himself…

A bad joke Jack: They said they were fixing the toxic atmosphere at the EPO by replacing Battistelli with Battistelli the Second

Summary: Back in 2013, even before we covered the EPO scandals, Team Battistelli was already abusing and threatening staff

1/20th salary deductions for strike/unauthorised absence: update

Those having been working in the Office long enough certainly remember the strike of 2 July 2013, seven years ago! All strikers on that day received a letter from Ms Bergot informing them that the Office considered they were in fact on “unauthorized absence” that day, with all possible (disciplinary) consequences. This move was successful in deterring most colleagues from
following the (many) strike days planed in July 2013. The Battistelli crew managed in 2013 to stop dead the many industrial actions planned for the second half of the year.

Mass appeals were filed by hundreds of colleagues though. Those who did were informed in the summer 2019 that Mr Campinos had rejected their appeal and that the Office was paying them 450€ for excessive length of internal procedure (which lasted “only” 6 years…).

The same also happened concerning appeals against 1/20th salary deduction per strike day (strikes at the end of 2013 and 2014).

Members of the SUEPO Committees in Munich and The Hague have now filed the corresponding complaints before the ATILO against the above-mentioned final decision of Mr Campinos.

The ATILO allows people in a similar factual and legal situation as a specific complainant to “intervene” into the corresponding pending complaint without the trouble of having to file a complaint themselves. In the present case, hundreds of colleagues can intervene. We will provide help and guidance to the SUEPO members on how to intervene in due time. Beware: only those intervening can benefit from damages possibly awarded by the Tribunal.

  1. Gemini Lets You Control the Presentation Layer to Suit Your Own Needs

    In Gemini (or the Web as seen through Gemini clients such as Kristall) the user comes first; it's not sites/capsules that tell the user how pages are presented/rendered, as they decide only on structural/semantic aspects

  2. The Future of Techrights

    Futures are difficult to predict, but our general vision for the years ahead revolves around more community involvement and less (none or decreased) reliance on third parties, especially monopolistic corporations, mostly because they oppress the population via the network and via electronic devices

  3. [Meme] UPC for CJEU

    When you do illegal things and knowingly break the law to get started with a “legal” system you know it’ll end up in tears… or the CJEU

  5. The Web is a Corporate Misinformation/Disinformation Platform, Biased Against Communities, Facts, and Science

    Misinformation/disinformation in so-called 'news' sites is a pandemic which spreads; in the process, the founder of GNU/Linux gets defamed and GNU/Linux itself is described as the problem, not the solution to the actual problems

    Twitter is an out-of-control censorship machine and it should be treated accordingly even by those who merely "read" or "follow" Twitter accounts; Twitter is a filter, not a news/media platform or even means of communication

  14. Another Video IBM Does Not Want You to Watch

    It seems very much possible that IBM (or someone close to IBM) is trying to purge me from Twitter, so let’s examine what they may be trying to distract from. As we put it 2 years ago, "Watson" is a lot more offensive than those supposedly offensive words IBM is working to purge; think about those hundreds of Red Hat workers who are black and were never told about ethnic purges of blacks facilitated by IBM (their new boss).

    When many services are reliant on the integrity of a single, very tiny MicroSD card you're only moments away from 2 days of intensive labour (recovery, investigation, migration, and further coding); we've learned our lessons and took advantage of this incident to upgrade the operating system, double the storage space, even improve the code slightly (for compatibility with newer systems)

  30. The Corporate Cabal (and Spy Agencies-Enabled Monopolies) Engages in Raiding of the Free Software Community and Hacker Culture

    In an overt attack on the people who actually did all the work — the geeks who built excellent software to be gradually privatised through the Linux Foundation (a sort of price-fixing and openwashing cartel for shared interests of proprietary software firms) — is receiving more widespread condemnation; even the OSI has been bribed to become a part-time Microsoft outsourcer as organisations are easier to corrupt than communities
