schestowitzDear colleagues,Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzIn 2019, the EPO orchestrated a flawed Financial Study together with Oliver Wyman & Mercer. The President selected a base-2 scenario which foresaw deflation and an overall deficit of €3.8bn by 2038, and added a €2bn arbitrary “buffer” for closing the alleged “gap”.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzIn May 2020, SUEPO mandated Ernst & Young to perform an analysis. Comparing the key assumptions of the 2019 study with those of other EPO documents, Ernst & Young found that the 2019 study consistently took an overly conservative approach. It was clear that the EPO had no deficit.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzIn spite of this evidence, the President put in place as of July 2020 a new salary adjustment procedure aimed at closing the alleged “gap” and which cuts staff purchasing power. Instead of the alleged deflation, inflation materialized at the historical level of +10% in Austria over the past 2 years. At the same time, EPO salaries were adjusted by only +0,4%.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzOver the same period, the EPO saved on liabilities and increased its assets in the treasury fund and the pension reserve fund. Within only 2 years, the new salary adjustment procedure saved €1,33bn of the €2bn planned to be saved over 20 years. At the end of 2021 the actual budget surplus came to €385.7m, 10.6% better than 2020, and significantly above the budget figure of €214.8m.[1]Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzThe generated savings are currently not managed by staff. Staff has no say in the supervision of the treasury fund of the EPO and there is currently no mechanism to make cash payouts out of the pension reserve fund.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzIn view of the excellent performance of the EPO, staff should be thanked for their effort instead of having a historical loss of purchasing power. This situation is neither justified nor sustainable. For the above reasons:Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzSUEPO Munich requests an extraordinary salary adjustment to be applied as of 1 July 2022.Jun 19 04:01

schestowitzDear colleagues,Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzInflation is at an all-time high since the euro was launched in 1997. The inflation index published by Eurostat for March 2022 is up to 7.5% for the Eurozone and 7.6% for Germany when compared with prices a year before on March 2021. And still growing.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzThe trend stays worrying upwards, with no visible signs of a stabilisation, let alone a downward trend. In Europe, the macro-economic prognosis points to a long-term inflation and economic stagnation. Double digit inflation figures will become common.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzAll of us are now faced with increased costs[1]: energy (44%), medical expenses, school expenses, transportation, housing, all basic needs.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzThe school costs in particular, aggravated by the recent Education and Childcare reform, are impacting EPO staff parents more harshly. Additionally, to the impact of increased childcare costs since January 2022, as from August/September 2022 when further transitional measures are finished, the full weight of the indirect costs (like afterschool care and transportation) will be felt by our colleagues with children.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzWithout an extraordinary adjustment to our salaries, EPO staff, in particular at the lower grades and/or with large families, are going to have difficulties complying with their liabilities in the coming months.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzStaff expects in these extraordinary economic circumstances that extraordinary measures are taken by the EPO administration.Jun 19 04:01
schestowitzSUEPO requests that the administration proceeds with an extraordinary adjustment of the salaries in July 2022 to smoothen the huge impact of the inflation on EPO staff and families.Jun 19 04:02
schestowitzKind regards,Jun 19 04:02
