Salary adaptation: +0,5% or -0,6%?

29/10/2013 , No comments
Our communication on salary adaptation raised the interest of many colleagues; therefore we are happy to share a table with you providing an even clearer summary of the situation. This table will explain why a salary increase of 0,5% or a salary decrease of 0,6% are both correct interpretations! We take the opportunity to reaffirm our active commitment on this very sensitive file and we’ll continue to take part in official meetings, to analyse data and to keep applying pressure on Eurostat and the administration to have a CC for Varese which reflects reality.

Planning for temporary staff

24/10/2013 No comments
Recently it has come to our attention that many units and actions in the JRC have been told to suspend (or not renew) recruitment of temporary staff. Staff policy, both for officials and temporary staff, is a fundamental pillar for the accomplishment of the mission of DG JRC and for the provision of the best possible service to our stakeholders. For this reason it is critical that staffing needs are planned and executed in the best possible way. Because of our concerns regarding the recent developments, we have sent a note to our Director General (please click here if you would like to receive it) which is being taken into consideration by the Resources Directorate. We hope that the reply will clarify the current state of affairs; at the same time we will monitor the situation and keep applying pressure on the administration to avoid any weakening of the scientific activities which are at the heart of the JRC.

Internet access in the JRC Ispra lodgings

04/10/2013 No comments
Staff well-being is of paramount importance for R&D Ispra. That’s why we do our best to make the site more attractive and we welcome all kinds of initiatives and on-going activities. Just to mention two: the site development and the recent sustainable mobility event. However we believe that there is still space for improvement, especially for newcomers and their families.

We have received many request/complaints by newcomers who stay temporarily in the lodgings and who are "cut-off" from the Internet after hours, simply because in the lodgings they don't have Internet access. This means that, if not at work or in the Clubhouse (closed during the weekend and after 23h00), they don't have Internet access. Considering the many requests and because we believe that the lack of a basic 21st Century commodity gives a very bad first impression of the JRC to new arrivals, we have sent this note to ISM in which we request immediate Internet access for these new colleagues. As you can see in this document the Commission officially endorses a policy on Internet access; in its own backyard though it is partly still missing.
R&D Ispra sincerely hopes that this remarkable and embarrassing lack of a basic commodity will be dealt with soon with the available and easily applicable (not rocket science…) technology.
