STU/68th Council/19/011
11 June 2019

Dear colleagues,

As you know already, the STU asked last April for the suspension of the mobility policy. In the absence of a response from the Administration, we wrote to the Director-General on 22 May to warn her that the implementation of this policy had been established on very shaky foundations (i.e. a lack of clearly defined criteria and career development opportunities, in particular). We also called for a review of the current procedure and for a space for reflection with the staff associations on all staff policies of the Organization. On 5 June, we received an invitation from DIR/HRM to participate in the Mobility review panel , whose mandate it is to study the reallocation proposals made by Sectors/Offices for P posts from P-1 to P-4.

Today, we ask concerned and worried colleagues to share with us information and documents that will enable us to help them. Contact us on president.stu@unesco.orgby Wednesday, 19 June. Of course, we guarantee anonymity: at no point will the Administration know that you have contacted us.

Best regards,

The STU Council.
