[13:48] schestowitz Just 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: [13:48] schestowitz - How to answer [13:48] schestowitz - What to say [13:48] schestowitz - Who might phone [13:48] schestowitz - What to ask [13:48] schestowitz - Where to enter information [13:48] schestowitz In a sense, had we answered, it would possibly prove worse than not picking up at all. [13:48] schestowitz A hypothetical call would be something like [13:48] schestowitz "Oh, hello, who are you?" [13:48] schestowitz "What do you want?" [13:48] schestowitz "What are you? What am I? What am I even supposed to do?" [13:48] schestowitz So I think that higher up (than me) someone failed to prepare us. I did not raise this concern at the time. [13:48] schestowitz Regards, [13:48] schestowitz Hello again, [13:48] schestowitz On 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. [13:48] schestowitz Many thanks, [13:48] schestowitz xxxxxxxxx ● Feb 23 [14:27] schestowitz " [14:27] schestowitz Dear SUEPO member, [14:27] schestowitz The 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. [14:27] schestowitz In 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). [14:27] schestowitz The 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 dont 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 [14:27] schestowitz in actions lead by the union. [14:27] schestowitz All SUEPO Committees will invite to EGMs to have the Action Plan' endorsed by their members. [14:27] schestowitz Actions 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 [14:27] schestowitz pensioners. 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 [16:09] *asusbox has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
