Election of ITER Staff Committee

This week is going to be a busy week when it comes to staff events. Most importantly, this week will see the election of a new Staff Committee.

The first Staff Committee was elected in January of last year. Its key mission is to represent the professional interests of all staff, including the aspects of employment, working, safety and welfare conditions of the staff and to act as an intermediate body facilitating communication between the Director-General and the staff on these matters.

The current members of the Committee, who were elected in January 2008, are coming to the end of their mandate and the ITER staff is being asked to elect new staff representatives for the Staff Committee.

Only ITER directly employed and seconded staff is eligible and has the right to vote.

An election committee has been set up to coordinate all the aspects of this election. It is composed of two members from HR and two members from the former Staff Committee:

- Laurence Depois (HR)

- Jeanne Fouliard (HR)

- Bertrand Beaumont (SC)

- Chang Shuk Kim (SC)

Those who want to submit their candidature for the Staff Committee can do so until Monday 19 January at noon by email to the following address: @email.

On Tuesday 20 January the candidates will be asked to present themselves to the rest of the staff during a Staff-only meeting from 13.30 to 15.30 at the Salle Polyvalente.

On Thursday 22 January, ITER staff on the CEA side of the fence will be able to vote from 9.00 to 12.00 and 14.00 to 17.00 in 507/015.

On Friday 23 January, ITER staff in the ITER HQ building will be able to vote from 8.30 to 10.00 and 12.15 to 14.00 in P22.

The staff will be informed on the outcome of these elections as soon as the results are available.
