📕 EPSU – the European Federation of Public Service Unions – represents more than 8 million public service workers across Europe. Its utilities affiliates are leading campaigns for secure jobs, fair wages and sustainable public ownership in energy, water and waste.

Europe’s utilities unions send a clear message to decision-makers: listen to the people who keep Europe running.

In the workplace, 31% of women in the EU have faced harassment during their adulthood – a figure that must be understood alongside the fact that only around 67% of women of working age are in employment.

🌟 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! **

🌞 Good morning, good people!

🗞 Our latest AGORA magazine issue is finally out! Some of our members have certainly received their printed copy, some have yet to get it, and some prefer to have it digitally. Our Agora is not only for our members. It is also open to the public, those with curious minds, and whoever interested in trade union issues in the European Institutions

🎬 Here is a bit of background: The 90th edition of Agora is a comprehensive exploration of the evolving dynamics between professional and personal life. It explores the historical significance of work and its transformation over time, from its sacred role to its association with progress in the modern era. The concept of work-life balance emerged in the mid-19th century, leading to reduced working hours, and increased annual leave.

Various articles within this edition analyze different aspects of work-life balance, including the importance of disconnecting, reducing working hours, redefining retirement, and examining the impact of leave policies. This edition also addresses burnout risks and presents a case for the four-day workweek.

More importantly, it highlights the perspectives of women in trade unions, discussing issues related to maternity, gender equality, diversity, and equal opportunities. Ultimately, the text emphasizes the positive impact of improved work-life balance on both society and the long-term sustainability of the planet.
