Interimaires

No comments

Recently we heard about some discussions regarding the possible introduction of interimaires at the JRC Ispra (interimaires are external staff hired through a so called temping agency). According to those in favour, this would be necessary because of long recruiting time of contractual agents. This is strange because one of the reasons for the reorganisation of the resource directorate was to harmonise recruitment procedures and make them faster.
We believe that trade unions should defend job security and stability rather than additional precarity (the next step could easily be outsourcing). If the procedures are slow, they should be improved or alternatives should be found (like a stable pool of contractual agents available to replace staff on leave). Not to speak of the higher cost of interimaires compared to contractual agents.
In order to express our concern the trade union majority in Ispra has already sent this note to our Director General Mr. Ristori on 13.07. According to the President of the Local Staff Commitee, Mr. Ristori proposed the creation of a group of Contract agents FGI that should cover "horizontally" all the JRC needs: we agree with the idea of a pool of CA (that we suggested from the beginning) but we have some doubts concerning a possible replacement of tasks FGII, FGIII and FGIV by contract agents FGI... 
We will of course inform you on any further developments.
