STU/69th Council/22/001
13 January 2022

Dear colleagues,

The STU sends you its best wishes! We hope that 2022 brings, you and those you love, joy , happiness , peace and health.

May 2022 finally allow all of us to resume a normal life together.

The areas of concerns are still numerous this year:

• Mobility : a new exercise is launched, and the STU will ensure that it is fairer, more transparent and useful to the Organization and its staff than the previous one, really taking into account competencies, programs and career development;
• Career development: unfortunately, no progress can be seen on this point and departures of talented colleagues are increasing;
• Internal justice: the Administration is more than ever in the position of judge and party and colleagues deprived of an impartial appeal;
• Working arrangements : a new teleworking policy is on hold as long as the working arrangements put in place since the start of the pandemic cannot be lifted; the STU will ensure that this new policy is genuinely beneficial to the staff and meets the needs of the Organization.

You can count on us to advocate for justice , equity and transparency , without ever losing sight of the interests of the Organization.

To be even stronger, the STU invites you to join us. Please find here (Headquarters, Field) the forms to fill out to be part of our community and thus to work together to defend the rights of all. Despite a difficult year due to the health crisis, the STU has once again decided not to increase its contributions.

We remind you that membership gives you access to the STU channel on Teams, through which you can share your concerns, ideas and suggestions with the Board and all STU members in complete confidentiality.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Best regards,

The STU Council.
