Interimaires at the JRC Ispra

In reply to the note on interimaires we sent together with the trade union majority in Ispra, our Director General Mr. Ristori has confirmed that there aren't any plans for the introduction of this kind of contracts at the JRC Ispra (click here to read his answer).
We are happy to notice that he shares our position to defend job security and stability rather than create additional precarity. This is completely in line with our proposal and we expect to maintain the collaboration with the trade union majority for every important issue affecting the JRC.

Interimaires

Recently we heard about some discussions regarding the possible introduction of interimaires at the JRC Ispra (interimaires are external staff hired through a so called temping agency). According to those in favour, this would be necessary because of long recruiting time of contractual agents. This is strange because one of the reasons for the reorganisation of the resource directorate was to harmonise recruitment procedures and make them faster.
