Summary: A bunch of tweets with documents in them, berating both ILO and the EPO for mistreatment and further harm to EPO workers with disabilities
THERE are numerous Twitter accounts that belong to EPO employees. We sometimes mention those*. In fact, we have just done an article about the most dishonest Twitter account, the official account of the EPO and thus the management’s mouthpiece. It’s a verified account with plenty of fake "followers" (it still seems to be buying some).

Someone amongst our readers who are past and present EPO staff told us about this Twitter account, which judging by the posts (tweets) belongs to an EPO person. It helps highlight the effect of ILO's inability or unwillingness to rein in, inhibiting the EPO’s abuses. Here are some among many tweets (there are just over a thousand), starting with older ones:

The @Administrative @Tribunal of the @ILO has limited my term to 30 days in my case concerning occupational illness- my employer had 90 days pic.twitter.com/f0hJUgIPuM— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) May 8, 2017
The employer's reply comprises 28 pages and 30 annexes (drafted by two specialized external lawyers in Geneva). #violation #of #Article6ECHR https://t.co/f4IaPMYsId— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) May 8, 2017
The #Admin. #Tribunal of the #ILO granted my employer a term 3x as long as mine and limited mine to 30 days, despite proven chronic illness.— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) May 13, 2017
#Employment #medical view (cf. photo) on 30-days ignored by #Admin. #Tribunal of the #ILO pic.twitter.com/oI7fmLIEZc— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) May 13, 2017
After my last 30-days term by the #ILO #Tribunal my #occupational illness was found to have worsened (additional disc protrusion C7/Th1). pic.twitter.com/vy8ms13lqP— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) June 21, 2017
Mijn juridische situatie is volkomen absurd: #ILOTribunal en mijn werkgever zullen blijven schuilen achter hun #immuniteit #Art3en6EVRM— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) June 21, 2017
#EPO was invited, on 9-3-2017 by #ILO #Tribunal, to file a surrejoinder pic.twitter.com/Xdadc3cUeI— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) September 7, 2017
#ILO #Tribunal allowed a term of at least 85 days to the #EPO, from 9 March to 2 June 2017, while my last term was restricted to 30 days. pic.twitter.com/vdeNaOEL5c— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) September 7, 2017
#ILO #Tribunal immediately allowed an extension to the #EPO for reply, cf. #EPO's surrejoinder, last section of page 2 (below). #Art6ECHR pic.twitter.com/aSf65347La— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) September 25, 2017
Again #EPO was allowed a term of > 80 days (at least 89) by #ILO #Tribunal, from 15 June to 12 September, cf. photos (this and last tweet). pic.twitter.com/Mj2JYj7FME— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) September 25, 2017
Complainant's last term was restricted to 30 days by #ILO #Tribunal, despite her illness (or just because of it?). #no_fair_trial #Art6ECHR— Anette Koch (@AnetteKoch) September 25, 2017
We are going to keep an eye on this account for further updates. It captures the misfortune worker have had, having worked at the EPO for a long time only to be mistreated and illegally punished (after Battistelli had finished exploiting them).
We have, thus far, heard from about half a dozen EPO workers with health problems. These range from depression to chronic illnesses (sometimes disabilities). These are not rare cases; as we pointed out earlier this year, 40% of EPO workers have Upper Limb Disorder (ULD). It’s a taboo subject in Battistelli’s EPO. █ _____* They are typically anonymous accounts because of the atmosphere of intimidation — further exacerbated by illegal surveillance — at the EPO.
=> 40% of EPO workers have Upper Limb Disorder (ULD)
