Élus de la liste NEAR You au CLP de BruxellesRésultat des élections au CLP de Bruxelles (juin 2012)
Représentants de U4U au CCP de la Commission
Participation de U4U dans les différents comités
Accord en vue d'une unité d'actionElections 2012Projet d'accord politique pour la mandature du CLP de Bruxelles Ce texte, tout à fait provisoire, a été discuté en vue de la formation d'une majorité au CLP et au CCP. U4U travaillait sur ce texte avec d'autres forces, l'objectif étant de parvenir à un accord pour la rentrée. Mais cet accord n'a pu se concrétiser. Suite aux élections tenues avant les vacances de l'été, le Comité du personnel de la Commission à Bruxelles a procédé le 11 septembre à l'élection de son président. Le Comité a élu la candidate présentée par l'US avec le soutien notamment des élus de Génération 2004 par 14 voix contre 12 à la candidate soutenue par la liste Near You (une personne étant absente). Cette élection s'est faite en l'absence de tout accord programmatique. On ne sait donc pas sur quelle base et quel programme de travail certaines organisations ont soutenu la proposition faite par nos collègues de l'US. U4U regrette que la candidate présentée par la liste Near You ( formée par R&D et U4U) , avec le soutien de la FFPE et de la Conf SFE, n'ait pas été mieux soutenue alors qu'il s'agissait d'une collègue femme, post 2004, provenant des nouveaux états membres et qu'elle s'appuyait sur une base programmatique qui tenait compte du signal envoyé par les électeurs en matière de lutte contre les disparités croissantes au sein du personnel et contre des réformes indésirables. Néanmoins, U4U souhaite bonne chance à la nouvelle présidente soutenue notamment par l'US et Génération 2004. Si la nouvelle majorité au Comité de Bruxelles le permet, nos élus vont coopérer dans un esprit constructif avec la nouvelle équipe.
Central and Local Staff Committees (SC)The Staff Committees represent the interests of the staff vis-à-vis the Institution and contributes to the smooth running of the service. They are the equivalent of 'Work Council', 'Comité du personnel' or 'Comité d'entreprise' of middle to large companies in the private sector. European Works Councils are bodies representing the European employees of a company. Through them, workers are informed and consulted by management on the progress of the business and any significant decision at European level that could affect their employment or working conditions. Member States are to provide for the right to establish European Works Councils in companies or groups of companies with at least 1000 employees in the EU or EEA, when there are at least 150 employees in each of two Member States (see directive 2006/109/EC). RoleIn the European Commission, the Staff Committees are an elected statutory body which represent all officials and other agents of the Commission vis-à-vis the Administration and the College of Commissioners to ensure that the rules established by the Commission as regards staff are fully respected. Their function is:

Therefore, the role of the Staff Committees is central to the protection of Staff interests, both collective and individual. The representatives in the statutory or joint committees play a crucial role to ensure that rules are applied with fairness in litigious cases. StructureThe Staff Committee consists of:
The staff in each principle place of employment elects the members of the LSC. The LSC members elect among themselves the members of the CSC.

Trade Unions and Staff Associations (OSPs)The central function of a trade union is to represent people at work and to protect their interests. The existence of strong and recognized trade unions is a pre-requisite to industrial peace. Decisions taken through the process of collective bargaining and negotiations between employer and unions are more influential. Trade unions are helpful in effective communication between the workers and the management. They provide the advice and support to ensure that the differences of opinion do not turn into major conflicts. They also play an important educational role, organizing courses for their members on a wide range of matters. Seeking a healthy and safe working environment is also prominent feature of union activity. Role of a Trade UnionTrade unions are organisations that represent people at work. Their purpose is to protect and improve people's pay and conditions of employment. They also campaign for rules and policies which will benefit working people. Trade unions exist because an individual worker has very little power to influence decisions that are made about his or her job. By joining together with other workers, there is more chance of having a voice and influence. Trade unions aim to further its members' interests, inter alia by :
Most "collective bargaining" takes place quietly and agreements are eventually reached by the union and the employer. Occasionally disagreements do occur and the two sides cannot agree. In these cases, the union may decide to take industrial action. Industrial action takes different forms: it could mean an over time ban, a work-to-rule or a strike... Role in the European CommissionThe Trade Unions defend the general interest of the staff of the Institution. They maintain stable and structured relations with the Administration, even though they are not statutory organs. The Agreement on Relations between the European Commission and the Trade Unions and Staff Associations ("Framework Agreement") defines that social dialogue may relate to any matters relating to staff policy and the working conditions of officials and other servants. However concertation procedures can only apply to a modification of the existing rules or a creation of new rules, without prejudice to the statutory competences of the Staff Committee. Concertations may be held on administrative (with the Director of the relevant services), technical (with DG HR) and political (with the Commissionner in charge of HR) levels. U4U is a general union that represents staff from several Institutions belonging to the European Union or being considered as European intergovernmental organisations. Why should you join a Trade Union and this one in particular ?Unions are made up of the people who want to have their voice heard, their interests promoted, their claims presented to the employer. If you stay out, you will have no or little influence. Unions are effective. Of course, they cannot completely reverse a political trend that results from general elections. But they often can limit the adverse effects of policies and negotiate changes to a project. The capacity of unions to resist and negotiate is a direct result of the volume of their membership and influence in social elections. In other words, the strength of a Union comes from its members and no other source. U4U is an organisation that is non-bureaucratic, assertive, creative and full of fighting spirit. Contrary to some other unions, you can easily participate to shaping our policies and elaborating our claims. All you have to do is to turn in our internal meetings (see invitations on the home page of this website) and become an active member. Not all trade unions are the same. U4U :

Further reading : yes, Trade Unions are good for the economy !Trade unions recognise that organisations must be competitive in the global markets if they are to be successful and provide secure employment for employees. Trade unions have an important role in:
Europe's most successful companies are ones where unions are recognised. Mutatis mutandis, this applies to the European Institutions. They also rely on their staff for reaching their objectives. They also constantly need to adapt to a changing environment. They also need their Unions. U4U is a constructive partner, committed to a socially responsible European Union. Voir dans
