Summary: A look at the minuscule size of Battistelli's endorsed union, which seems to have just a few dozen active members

THE FFPE's EPO branch, which is management-leaning, was mentioned here before in various articles such as:

“Amazing numbers for a "recognised social partners"!!!”
      --Anonymous"Results of the FFPE-EPO elections held [this week] in The Hague," one source told us. "To get an idea," added this source, "here are some hallucinating figures about the FFPE-EPO and their elections held [this week] in The Hague. Amazing numbers for a "recognised social partners"!!!"

There is "no further comments needed," our source said, quoting just the text below:

Dear members of FFPE EPO,

Today the elections for the new FFPE EPO committee took place. The results of the elections are the following:

€· Participation rate: 41% ------------> 76*0.41 = 31

€· Valid ballots: 97% ------------------> 31*0.97 = 30

Results per candidate:

1. Michiel Sonius: 29% ---------------->30*0.29 = 9

2. Aldert Jan de Haan: 23% ---------->30*0.23 = 7

3. Samuel van der Bijl: 16% --------->30*0.16 = 5

4. Andrey Afanasiev: 16% ------------>30*0.16 = 5

5. Gyorgy Vida: 13% ----------------->30*0.13 = 4

With apparently just 76 members it seems clear that nobody is likely to have joined since the deal with Battistelli. One is left wondering why more than half the members didn't even bother voting; maybe they're still registered (annual membership) but were among those whom we were told left in anger (as a direct result of the MoU). ⬆
