🌟 Unite for a Stronger Future! 🌟
Dear colleagues, it's voting time again! Every three years, we have a say on the future of our institution by electing a Staff Committee. More than a regulatory body, the Staff Committee must be a guarantor of respect for people and a beacon of unity and strength in an ever-changing environment.
🗳️ **Why Your Vote Matters: **
USF/EPSU-CJ, your committed trade union, is calling for your support. By voting for our 13 candidates, you're not just voting for individuals; you're endorsing a team that stands for the **independence**, **competence**, and **permanence** of the European public service. Together, we ensure that European integration is kept on the right path!
🔍 **Addressing Challenges Head-On: **
- **Divisions & Precariousness: ** Let's bridge gaps between departments, officials, and staff levels. Our solidarity strengthens, while divisions weaken.
- **Job Security: ** From low pay to uncertain contracts, our palliative measures (e.g., supplementary pay) support those most in need.
- ** Permanent Employment Access: ** When open competitions fall short, we advocate for fairer, internal competitions that value our existing human capital.
📈 **A Proven System for career progression: **
Our promotion system adopted on our initiative, based on the *pro rata temporis* approach, ensures merit-based, predictable career evolution. With EPSU-CJ representatives at the helm, its proper application is guaranteed.
🚀 **The Road Ahead: **
No Change without trade-union agreement. Trust in a union with a track record of negotiating past reforms.
🔔 **Act Now! **
