Why the Secretary General must stop interfering in pay appeals | Pourquoi le Secrétaire général doit cesser d’intervenir dans les recours en matière de rémunération
Getting equal pay was never going to be easy. We’ve always known that. It’s why we’ve had to campaign hard for two years since the illegal pay cut was inflicted upon UNOG staff. Our case for equal pay currently sits with the UN Dispute Tribunal (UNDT) and we recently told you about how the lack…

Still waiting for equal pay – tell the UN “we’re not going away!” | On attend toujours l’égalité salariale – dites à l’ONU « on ne cèdera pas» !
UNOG staff know all about the scandal of being denied equal pay. Whilst we undertake work of the same value as colleagues in other specialized agencies, we do not get the same pay. This is an appalling situation, especially when one considers the organization we work for. This month marks the two-year anniversary of the…
Equal Pay: if it’s good enough for everyone else, then why not for UN staff? | L’égalité salariale: si elle est accordée à tous, pourquoi pas au personnel des Nations Unies ?
It’s been two long years since the imposition of the illegal pay cut by the UN. Loss of income, family life impacted, respect for UN management diminished. It’s hard to believe that any sensible employer would wilfully allow such a state of affairs to take place, but sadly, that’s just what’s happened here in Geneva….
