Annual update of salaries: +1.5%
The update taking effect on 1 July 2017 is +1.5%. You may find here some explanations on how this figure was calculated. You can also find the updated salary grids for officials and temporary staff and for contract staff (see comparison with Luxembourg indexation as from 1-1-2017 and pay supplement (in FR)).
Pay supplement for contract staff!
The consultation conducted between the administration of the Court and EPSU CJ was concluded by an agreement, comprising two parts: 1. Pay supplement for contract staff and 2. Some arrangements to public transport season tickets.
Telework: Social progress or panacea?
Working-from-home should not be a means of saving on office space, especially by promoting open space, as this will only strengthen the desire to flee. General Information – EPSU CJ’s position.
Officials’ careers – pro rata temporis
Under the 2004 Reform, the career structure has undergone deep changes. At the Court of Justice, to adapt to these changes, EPSU CJ elaborated and negociated a promotions system, known as ‘pro rata temporis’, which applies exclusively in this institution since 2006 (see the texts relating to it: 2009, 2015 (FR)).
The General Court upholds citizens’ rights!
In its Judgment of 10 May 2017, in Case T-754/14, the General Court annuls the Commission’s refusal to register the proposed European citizens’ initiative (ECI) ‘Stop TTIP’. You may read the Press Releases of the said ECI (EN) and of the Luxembourgish Platform Stop CETA and TTIP (DE/FR), of which USF is part.
Democracy, transparency and accountability
Only a trade union relying on members’ subscriptions can claim it is independent. This is so with EPSU CJ (subscriptions collected in 2016: € 19 376.07).
