Correction Coefficient and Contractual Agents

No comments
R&D Ispra informs you about the latest development of two important issues that have major impact on the attractiveness of the Ispra site. These staff policy related issues are the Correction Coefficient and the future of Contractual Agents.
Correction Coefficient:
Finally a real step forward has been made on the issue of the Correction Coefficient (CC). As a follow up of the CLP (Local Staff Committee) meeting with Commissioner Mr. Šefčovič and Dir Gen Mrs. Souka in Ispra and the information meeting with DG HR and Eurostat on 13 December in Brussels, R&D Ispra has reached an agreement with EUROSTAT. We will get the possibility to have a view on how the method and certain raw data were applied to determine the CC for Ispra. This is crucial for the upcoming process to officially dispute the surprisingly low CC for Ispra (art.90). We arranged for an appointment with EUROSTAT to meet on February 9 in Luxembourg. In order to join all forces in this crucial initiative we have invited all trade unions to attend because we are convinced that only united we might be able to obtain an improvement of the situation. Unfortunately not all trade unions have confirmed their willingness to participate yet. We will keep you informed about the developments and the outcome of this important meeting.
Contractual Agents:
There is a new development to report on the future of Contractual Agents. R&D is still one of the promoters of the CA court case against the use of staff with limited duration contracts on permanent post. As you most likely know already the hearing of our appeal will take place the 18th February 10:00 in Luxembourg. If you would be interested to participate in the hearing, you are kindly invited to write an email to our secretariat
(jrc-rd-ispra@ec.europa.eu) before 29 January.
R&D feels obliged to warn all CA
colleagues to be very careful with all kinds of information that have been spread and will be spread around even more in relation to CA contracts. Whenever Local Staff Committee (CLP) elections are about to take place, the propaganda machines of some trade unions work over-time. Too many promises made during the election campaigns are quite often without any restriction and foundation, and absolutely incompatible with the Staff Regulations in force. R&D refrains from these practises and we are always willing to help you if you feel the need for any clarification considering your contract. While it might not always be possible to tell you what you would like to hear, we will always do our very best to inform you correctly.
