Introducing Open Space offices can seriously affect working conditions

The Court of Justice condems the practices of the Commission's Investigatory and Disciplinary Office. Why judgment T-270/16P is so important for you!
The judgment of 14 February 2017 concerns a case that the Federation defended before the highest jurisdiction of the European legal order. It condemns the Commission for the Investigatory and Disciplinary Office's excesses.
Theme of the day: hospital billing
The FEDERATION seeks via this information note to ensure the long term viability of our sickness insurance scheme (JSIS) and to enable you to take informed decisions.
We are very attached to our sickness insurance scheme, the JSIS, and wish to see it work well and in a sustainable manner for the benefit of all colleagues.
The key points that motivate us are:
THE FFPE CONFIRMS ITS SOLIDARITY TOWARDS COLLEAGUES FROM THE UK WHO ARE EUROPEAN OFFICIALS FIRST AND FOREMOST
Europe is anything but a simple journey. Four days after the 60th Anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, Ms MAY, the UK Prime Minister, triggers Article 50 and the United Kingdom formally requested negotiations with the European Union, regarding the exit of a Union it joined in 1973.
The Mediation Service as seen by "Commission en direct": Auto-satisfaction and jargon
In its 13 September 2017 edition, the evergreen "Commission en direct" proposed an article on the Mediation Service, under the proud slogan: "going beyond conflict".
It deserves closer attention.
Behind the smiley faces of the mediator and his team hides a different reality: that of an appointment that gave rise to objections at the highest level (Mr Barroso and Mrs Georgieva) from the Central Staff Committee regarding the selection procedure and the operation of the service.
LEAVE IN THE INTERESTS OF THE SERVICE (Article 42c)
Watch out for summer storms!
At the height of this year's summer holiday period, the Administration published an Administrative Notice (No 18-2017 of 26.07.2017) on the possible implementation of "leave in the interests of the service" under Article 42c of the Staff Regulations.
The notice provides little clarity on the grounds for triggering such a serious procedure, and it is not surprising therefore that it has given rise to varied reactions from colleagues, ranging from anxiety to perplexity.
