Our LSC actions in the last 3 years

The LSC has a fundamental role in the defence of staff rights and plays an important role in the verification of the correct application of the Staff Regulations and other local provisions.

The Trade Union R&D Ispra will be present as list 4 - anotheR&Dimension. It is of paramount importance to have a strong and reliable LSC and for that reason, we are asking you to renew your support for our guidance of the LSC.

In the post-Covid era, we will be facing several challenges including the future working arrangements, the new HR strategy, the defence of the scientific role of the JRC, threats to the budget and staffing levels, and many others.

During the last mandate, a great deal has been achieved thanks in no small part to the hard work of the elected members of anotheR&Dimension. To mention just a few examples:

  • leadership of the work of the LSC through the role of LSC President;
  • the Covid-19 emergency was managed in close collaboration between staff representatives and the administration;
  • progress in obtaining universal access to the Italian Health System (“tessera sanitaria”);
  • active contribution on decisions about the Ispra and Seville sites (e.g. Site travel Perimeter, Staffing, JRC competitions, School related issues);
  • continuous and active presence and leadership in joint committees, e.g. Welfare (COPAS), Health and Safety;
  • monitoring of JRC published vacancies to ensure full compliance with the nature of duties;
  • tens of individual cases of various nature resolved under the guidance of the LSC President;
  • ensuring cuts to the Euratom budget are applied in the fairest way possible that doesn't penalise the JRC's work on the Horizon budget;
  • maintenance of the Clubhouse as an important focal point for families, and the completion of the new Multipurpose Sports Hall.
