The emergency plan can be summarised as lowering the available workspace by closing entire buildings and further by changing the office temperatures to unpleasant levels. This might solve the problem of an energy crisis for the Office, but only by passing the burden to staff. Any potential savings achieved by the Office must be passed on to those that will [08:41] schestowitz bear the expense of providing a suitable workspace. [08:41] schestowitz Furthermore, the official reason for the plan is to reduce dependence on Russian energy supplies rather than any intention for cost saving. Since most of our homes are heated with gas or oil, sending the colleagues home would not necessarily reduce the dependence on Russian energy. [08:41] schestowitz So many questions are still open. As usual, Staff Representation has neither been involved in drawing up the emergency plan nor has Staff Representation been informed or asked for comments before the publication of the emergency plan. [08:41] schestowitz We do, however, expect the Office to take into consideration the opinion of staff and their representatives before any action is taken, and ensure that their duty of care is satisfied.
