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!
