Building a democratic workplace <\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>\"\"<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the July edition of the AGORA magazine<\/a>, you can find an article presenting our view on \u201cBuilding a Democratic Workplace\u201d<\/a> at the GSC. This is a key objective for us in the new Staff Committee.<\/p>\n

The article provides information on how we assess democracy at the Council and what we can do to improve it.<\/p>\n

Why is democracy at work so important?<\/strong>
\n\u2713 because it is a basic right,
\n\u2713 because it benefits all staff,
\n\u2713 because it benefits the institution,
\n\u2713 because it benefits our society.<\/p>\n

The positive impact of a democratic workplace cannot be overestimated. Studies show that employees who experience democracy at their workplace are better motivated and more productive, and this helps the workplace to accomplish its tasks and achieve its objectives in the best possible way. A democratic workplace benefits society, too, as employees are more likely to become involved and proactive in social activities, helping to promote democracy in our society. Nothing is more important today than promoting\u00a0 democracy in our countries, in Europe and around the world! We can make an important start in our workplace.<\/p>\n

What would we like to achieve at the Council?<\/strong><\/em>
\n\u2022 More bottom-up feedback
\n\u2022 Real participatory leadership
\n\u2022 Increased involvement of and input by staff in projects and management decisions
\n\u2022 Timely consultation of the Staff Committee and respect for its opinions
\n\u2022 Respect for the contribution made by staff representatives in the GSC\u2019s joint committees and bodies.<\/p>\n

Education Allowance<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In our last Flash<\/a>, we informed you about Union Syndicale\u2019s success in ensuring an extension in education allowance payments.<\/p>\n

Following the Court\u2019s decision, the PMO is now required to continue paying the education allowance until the month when your child\u2019s examination results are published.<\/p>\n

If your child is completing their higher education this summer, please check your salary slips and let us know if the payments made by the PMO are not correct. There is a time limit to lodge a complaint and Union Syndicale will support you in doing this.<\/p>\n

You can send an email to union.syndicale@consilium.europa.eu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In July, our Brussels headquarters also organised an on-line conference on this subject. In a question-and-answer session, Nathalie de Montigny, one of Union Syndicale’s lawyers, provided legal background information about this allowance.<\/p>\n

Agn\u00e8s Lahaye, a member of the committee executive USB from The Council section, participated in this conference and contributed with some helpful first-hand experience and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Negotiations between the Administration and the <\/em><\/strong>
\nTrade Unions<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

The Annex to the Framework Agreement, first concluded between the Administration and the trade unions in 2006, concerns the provision of secondments and material resources to representative trade unions at the GSC. In November 2023, the Administration launched a negotiation aimed at drastically reducing the secondments and resources provided to the trade unions.<\/p>\n

For more about the outcome and for Union Syndicale\u2019s analysis, please see our tract. You can also find here a more artistic summary of the negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
