Many of you are being paid less money for doing the same job as other colleagues in Geneva; less money for working the same hours as before and less money to spend supporting you and your families. Our campaign to restore equal pay for UNOG staff is nothing less than a battle for justice. Staff…
Category: Equal Pay for UN staff
Equal Pay – We have called on the SG to face UNOG staff | Égalité salariale – Nous avons demandé au Secrétaire général de faire face aux fonctionnaires de l’ONUG
We have sent this letter to the Secretary-General asking him to meet with staff and explain his decision to continue paying UN Geneva staff 5.2 percent less than staff of the specialized agencies. Staff are rightly angry. We are the backbone of the work of the UN here and yet are still paid less than our colleagues…

Follow-up actions on our campaign for “ One UN, One Pay” | Actions de suivi de notre campagne contre les coupes salariales « A même Organisation, même rémunération »
Thank you for coming to our townhall on Monday. We agreed that our campaign isn’t about the 2018 pay cut. Now that the ILOAT has restored a higher pay ($400 to $1,000 more a month depending on the grade) to the specialized agencies in its jurisdiction and with staff receiving backpay of between $4,000 and $10,000,…
Townhall this Monday on the serious consequences of the continuing pay cut | Réunion générale lundi sur les graves conséquences des coupes salariales
You will recall that in July the ILOAT declared the pay cut illegal, leading five specialized agencies, namely WIPO, ITU, WHO, ILO and IOM, to restore the correct pay for their staff and refund the difference from the previous year. We asked the Secretary-General to restore our pay as well but he refused. Faced with…
G and P staff: Sign this petition to reverse ICSC pay cuts | Fonctionnaires des catégories G et P : Signez cette pétition pour annuler les coupes salariales
As you will recall, the ILO Administrative Tribunal (ILOAT) recently declared the Geneva pay cut to be illegal. However, this judgement does not apply directly to the UN, only to specialized agencies. This means their staff will now be paid 5.2 percent more than UN Geneva staff for performing the same work, creating an unprecedented…
Our townhall on the pay cut judgement + our campaign for equal pay in Geneva | Réunion générale sur le jugement relatif aux coupes salariales et campagne pour l’égalité salariale à Genève
Thank you for attending our townhall last week in such numbers, and it was a pleasure to see staff from sister agencies, funds and programmes. As we noted, the ILO tribunal last week declared the 5.2 percent Geneva pay cut imposed on staff of P and higher categories to be illegal. It noted, according to…
Townhall this Thursday on ILOAT judgement on Geneva pay cut | Réunion générale jeudi sur le jugement du TAOIT sur les coupes salariales
This Wednesday the ILO Administrative Tribunal will deliver its judgement on the Geneva pay cut. This judgement will directly apply to staff of the specialized agencies. However, even though our cases are currently being considered at the UN Dispute Tribunal, following hearings last October, we believe this judgement could influence the overall outcome. To this…
Our actions to maximise our chances of reversing the pay cut | Nos actions pour maximiser nos chances de succès contre les coupes
We would like to update you on our actions with regards to the legal appeals against last year’s 5.2 percent pay cut. For memory you will recall that this cut was decided by the International Civil Service Commission. Despite strong evidence of errors of process and calculation, as well as two strikes, two work stoppages…
How to appeal the pay cut at the Tribunal | Comment contester légalement les coupes de salaire?
As discussed at our latest staff meeting, an important pillar of our campaign is legal appeals. Last time 330 of you appealed. However, because the pay cut was delayed from August to February with a revised formula, a new appeal now has to be made. It is also important that everyone who had their pay…
