1.        U4U is a union that puts staff participation at the centre of its work and is therefore an active union throughout the year. We always act in a constructive spirit and in full transparency. Staff are kept informed of our texts, proposals and results (monthly newspaper "Le Link", website), and can come and discuss them at our conferences.

3.        Unity makes us stronger. We are fighting for the unity of the staff, to create solidarity between all its categories, its professions, all "generations" combined.

5.        We do not limit our action to the defence of pay, promotion or pension conditions. We do not only accompany you in all the steps for which you may need effective support. We look after all our working conditions and always oppose the opening up of our Staff Regulations, which would risk leading, as always, to unfavourable reforms on all aspects of staff working conditions.

7.        We demand an improvement in staff representation and a strong resumption of social dialogue. The themes of social dialogue must be broadened and this dialogue must be made possible at all levels of the institution, in all DGs and services, as close as possible to colleagues. 

9.        We are in favour of an inclusive diversity policy in all its dimensions. Whether societal, social or cognitive, the inclusion of diversity is for us an approach in favour of equal treatment for all staff in the European civil service. Recognising the intersectionality of diversity is to see in it the unity of the staff.

2.        European construction is at the heart of our raison d'être. We clearly link our trade union action to the future of the European project. Through the regular publication of the GRASPE magazine (www.graspe.eu), regular training courses and seminars on issues of European interest and the documented elaboration of constructive proposals, we act permanently in the interest of the European project.

4.        We work for an active and participatory management of staff careers, which promotes a common European culture of solidarity and respect for diversity. The administration must resist the temptation to do more with less, respect each of our professions and recognise the quality of our work.

6.        For our children in crèches, nurseries and European schools, we advocate quality educational provision for all, with sufficient resources for its implementation. 

8.        For a fairness and equal treatment: We are fighting for equal treatment between different categories of staff and between colleagues working at different sites.

 10.        The strength of our union commitment is also explained by taking responsibility within the U4U team based on commitment, team spirit and merit disconnected from any administrative reference to status (CA, TA, civil servant , ASN) and grades (AST-SC, AST, AD, FG).
