The USF also acknowledges the autonomy of the OACPS Secretariat to define and shape the Staff regulations applicable to its staff as being part of its operational autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>However, USF is also aware of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.acp.int\/\">OACPS<\/a>\u00a0Secretariat\u2019s intention to terminate all contracts on 31 December 2020 and re-employ some staff on 1 January 2021 under the so-called \u201crevised Staff Regulations\u201d and the \u201cNew Employment Regulations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The USF considers that this decision is unheard of in the international public service and will have massive implications. Instead, the USF highly recommends following the classic method of reforming the working conditions of international organisations: analysing and justifying the need for change, fully consult the staff representatives on the considered changes and define transitional measures, in order to achieve both the aims of the reform, the obligation to respect the acquired rights of individuals and thus overall legal certainty.<\/p>\n<p>The USF strongly recommends a postponement of the currently considered action that foresees the termination of the contracts and the re-hiring exercise. To be fully clear on our intentions, the USF considers the radical approach described above as even harmful for the entire international public service. The radical approach would inevitably oblige the USF to use all available means \u2013 political and legal \u2013 to support individual staff members and their representatives, both in their own interest and in the long-term interest of all other affiliated employees in USF branches.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire USF letter to OEACP here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_50 thick_3 style_solid color_primary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read here the USF letter to OEACP to denounce the unfair management of ACP secretariat employees for 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"dossier-special":[],"class_list":["post-3729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
