schestowitzJust to note (I've not yet read the other 5 messages), for a number of weeks we were on duty "in the blind". We were given no instructions at all regarding:Feb 23 13:48
schestowitz- How to answerFeb 23 13:48
schestowitz- What to sayFeb 23 13:48
schestowitz- Who might phoneFeb 23 13:48
schestowitz- What to askFeb 23 13:48
schestowitz- Where to enter informationFeb 23 13:48
schestowitzIn a sense, had we answered, it would possibly prove worse than not picking up at all.Feb 23 13:48
schestowitzA hypothetical call would be something likeFeb 23 13:48
schestowitz"Oh, hello, who are you?"Feb 23 13:48
schestowitz"What do you want?"Feb 23 13:48
schestowitz"What are you? What am I? What am I even supposed to do?"Feb 23 13:48
schestowitzSo I think that higher up (than me) someone failed to prepare us. I did not raise this concern at the time.Feb 23 13:48
schestowitzRegards,Feb 23 13:48
schestowitzHello again,Feb 23 13:48
schestowitzOn an additional note, I have found several past emails from you that have been misfiled by a rule in my mail client (for a different xxxx). Apologies, I will respond to those messages separately now.Feb 23 13:48

schestowitzDear SUEPO member,Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzThe EGM will be held on Monday 14 February at 12.00 noon in SUEPO MS Teams. An invitation was sent to all members in Munich today. If you have not received the email please contact us immediately.Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzIn accordance with the Munich SUEPO statute Article 9(2) the Munich SUEPO committee invites you on the 14.02.2022 at 12:00 noon to an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzThe EGM has become necessary due to the General Assemblies held by the staff committees in MU and TH in the last two weeks. There, in two independent polls the staff in MU and in TH overwhelmingly indicated (93% MU and 93% TH) that they are not satisfied and don’t agree with the path the present administration is on. Also an overwhelming number of staff present in those GA's indicated (83% TH and 89% MU) that they would be inclined to participate Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzin actions lead by the union.Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzAll SUEPO Committee’s will invite to EGM’s to have the ‘Action Plan' endorsed by their members.Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzActions have therefore become necessary in order to help the management correct their present inclination of hoarding unnecessary immense amounts of cash based on biased financial studies at the detriment of staff. During the worst pandemics in our lifetime and the highest inflation registered in the last decades our management does not see the reason for taking corrective measures to adjust the salaries of the active staff and the pensions of the Feb 23 14:27
schestowitzpensioners. The management also does not see any reason to revise a flawed career system for the staff and they also see no reason for negotiating in good faith any new reforms which affect all the staff like teleworking, the education allowance or even the latest DG1 reform. This administration rather takes advantage of the unfortunate state of events hoping that the staff will not mobilise.Feb 23 14:27
