Welcome to the tenth edition of Generation 2004 newsletter for 2024. This edition highlights several key updates, beginning with a heartfelt thank you to our supporters in the recent Generation 2004 elections in Geel [1]. We also address pressing concerns about the challenging issues surrounding ASTSC career blockages [2]. Furthermore, we explore the certification process [3]. In addition we focus on unpaid leave [4] and the pursuit of longer and sustainable careers [5] for Contract Agents and we discuss whether to sign or not the petition [6] from the contract agent “collective”. We also discuss issues regarding standby duty within the EEAS [7] and voting practice in JRC [8] sites. Moreover, we offer insights into training opportunities for the AST3 EPSO competition [9]. We also did not forget to talk about the difficulties to navigate the ‘My IntraComm [10]‘ platform. Last but not least, we provide a comprehensive FAQ on pension [11] and the transfer of pension rights [12], as well as details about the JRC event [13] dedicated to this topic.
That’s all for now!
Enjoy the reading and get in touch [14] if you believe we can help!
