08:57 schestowitz; With our previous publication we informed you about the open letter we sent to the President. Aiming to avoid flooding the administration with mass legal actions, we suggested the possibility to use test appellants.
08:57 schestowitz; Earlier this week, we received an affirmative reply from the President, in which the President confirmed that the Office would be willing to apply the final outcome of the legal proceedings to all staff in the same situation in fact and law. SUEPO will now be finding a team of active staff members & pensioners that will act as test appellants for the different circumstances we can identify and supporting this group throughout the legal
08:57 schestowitz; proceedings. The first step for them will be filing the Request for Review by 30 September 2020.
