Summary: With the "hoax" that is the financial assessment by António Campinos (who is deliriously celebrating the inauguration of illegal and unconstitutional kangaroo courts) we urge EPO workers to check carefully the integrity of their pensions, seeing that pension promises have been broken for years already
=> "hoax" that is the financial assessment by António Campinos | illegal and unconstitutional kangaroo courts | EPO | pension promises have been broken for years already
THE ‘French’ era of the EPO (Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos, two Frenchmen, may run the 'diverse' Office for 18 years in a row!) is an era of unprecedented plunder and deceit. it’s also an era of lawlessness and impunity.

“…the EPO has, in essence, let the salary of workers decrease by about 18% if they come from Hungary.”
On the last day of May we took note of EPO examiners’ (and other workers’) concern about their pension status. I too have had a pension ordeal (my employer had defrauded me and my colleagues since 2011!), so nowadays I begrudgingly — out of sheer necessity — learn a lot more about how pensions work (or don’t work), especially in the UK. With 7 more avenues remaining to explore and potentially escalate to (three processes are in progress in parallel now, including my local politicians) we can safely say it’ll be a recurring theme here for months to come. It seems like this impacts people who never worked for Sirius ‘Open Source’; they did this not just to me (impersonal) and within only a few months of me joining the company, so it’s not new, it’s just that we all found out about it this year, after 3 months of persistent investigation (there’s lots of stonewalling in the pension systems and it helps obscure the gory reality; see video above for details). To quote an associate, “I would suspect that this kind of ripoff or scam is very common nowadays and it is a matter of finding the currently hidden channels for dealing with pension scams.”

The EPO’s staff union, SUEPO Central Bureau (representing staff union membership in all EPO sites, not just locally), wrote the following to staff earlier this month:
Caution – different issue from call for test-appellants in freeze of remuneration with effect of 1 January 2022
On 10/11 March 2023, we distributed model requests for review against the salary adjustment in 2023. Many of you submitted such a review request. On 10 May 2023, the administration decided negatively on the requests (file number MR/2023-0017). An internal appeal is to be lodged within a period of three months (see Article 110 ServRegs).
We have tasked a renowned law firm to draft model appeals against the salary adjustment in 2023 based on the above negative decision. We intend to provide these templates to SUEPO members by mid of July 2023.
Based on the above, union membership fees are used to pay “a renowned law firm to draft model appeals against the salary adjustment in 2023…”
The EPO’s “salary adjustment” is explained in the video above; the EPO has, in essence, let the salary of workers decrease by about 18% if they come from Hungary. The EPO pretends to be poor while breaking the law to bag a lot more money, then gamble it away. █
