Survey on misconduct at the workspace | Sondage sur la conduite prohibée sur le lieu de travail

Staff Unions and Associations of the UN Common System are deeply concerned about the welfare and well-being of you, the staff. An important aspect of our experiences in the workplace is the feeling of being in a safe and welcoming environment where we are treated with respect and dignity. One of the main scourges of our organizations is harassment, in all of its forms. A number of important bodies are looking closing at these issues and how we can better protect staff.
CCISUA, our Federation, would like to hear your experiences with harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination and abuse of authority. We would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to fill a survey on these very important topics by Friday 9 November. We hope to hear from as broad a range of staff as possible from victims to those who have never experienced these issues. The results of the survey are anonymous and will be used to help develop new policies.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Come in numbers to attend UNDT hearing on pay cut | Venez nombreux assister à l’audience du TANU sur les coupes salariales

You will recall that 800 of you challenged the pay cut for P and D staff with the help of the Office of Staff Legal Assistance. (These cuts were made earlier this year and based on the contested results of a 2016 ICSC cost-of-living survey).
The UN Dispute Tribunal will hold a hearing on the case this Monday in New York. While we regret that it won’t be in Geneva, we have been able to arrange for the event to be retransmitted live.
To this end we would like to invite you this Monday, 22 October, to Room 23 from 4 p.m.to watch these seminal proceedings.
See you on Monday!
