Generation 2004 is today – and by far – the most voted individual staff organisation in the Commission. Nevertheless, for the administration it seems not to be enough that we have consistently grown our representation share.
To be heard by the highest spheres of HR of the Commission and become a real force for change it is important that we grow further. Not just in the polls, but also in the number of members we have in our ranks. A strong membership is our most significant calling card when lobbying our cause with anyone that matters.
