Correction Coefficient Varese

19/07/2011 , No comments
As expected the art.90 appeal against the manipulation of the Correction Coefficient has been rejected (see AIPN's answer). This is no surprise but of course you as a R&D member expect more from your Trade Union. From the beginning we have been clear that it will be a long road and sadly enough a legal battle is the only possibility to correct what has been incorrectly calculated and equally importantly, to keep this issue in the spotlight.
Especially now!
WHY?
Because the Commission has proposed, in its new reform proposals, to establish the yearly correction of the new Correction Coefficient based on the Local Inflation Data and no longer on the purchasing power differences between Brussels and Varese.
In principle this doesn't sound so bad but please be aware that the starting point for this new method is of fundamental importance. If we were to get a yearly inflation correction starting from a CC of 92,3 ; an effective salary reduction of 7,7% for staff working in Ispra would have been fixed and established for the entire duration of the new method!
We are now ready to go to Court to defend our rights. We have asked all Trade Unions in Ispra to participate in the costs.
Our first estimate of the costs is around 20.000 Euro.
As far as we know we have 8 Trade Unions in Ispra:
R&D
Cisl
SE
USI
FFPE
SFIE
TAO-AFI
U4U
We have asked each Trade Union to pay 2500 Euro, in order to start the court case.
R&D Ispra is now waiting for their reply.
