Union Syndicale Fédérale (USF) Speaks Out Against Campinos and Informs the Chairman of the EPO Administrative Council
SUEPO, the staff union of EPO staff, has just told staff that the Union Syndicale Fédérale (USF) "writes to EPO President on social dialogue and salary adjustment" (we wrote about USF many times before; it's a large collective and they're supportive of SUEPO).
To quote SUEPO: "The Union Syndicale Fédérale (USF), the largest federation of unions of the EU and international public service, has addressed a formal letter to EPO President Campinos expressing serious concern about the current state of social dialogue at the EPO and the proposed Salary Adjustment Procedure (SAP). In its letter dated 26 June 2026, USF notes that the ongoing labour conflict at the EPO has already surpassed the worst episodes under the previous presidency, with more than 13,000 strike days registered in 2026 alone. USF calls on the EPO President to engage in genuine and substantive dialogue with SUEPO and to restore a salary adjustment mechanism that preserves the purchasing power of EPO staff, in line with commitments made to staff in 2020. The letter has been copied to Mr. Kratochvíl, Chairman of the EPO Administrative Council."
To reproduce the message from USF:
We demand that the President of the EPO develops a sound social dialogue with SUEPO...
The full letter:
What if Campinos won't "develop a sound social dialogue with SUEPO"?
Well, the President of the EPO is too busy having a dialogue with cocaine addicts and their attractive (to the President of the EPO) sister.
Is this President above the law? How about his son?
Does Mr. Kratochvíl pay any attention at all? What about the delegates?
If this very large institution adopts the low standards of the "Alicante mafia" (as staff calls it), i.e. lawyers who do cocaine in the open, what hope is there that EPO stakeholders will view legal legitimacy as more than a thin illusion? █
