News from the NWO Central Works Council (Inside NWO-I June 2021)
In this newsletter, an update from the NWO Central Works Council (COR NWO). As you could read earlier, the transfer to the new COR NWO has been postponed until July of this year (instead of May). The postponement was a consequence of the network hack at NWO-D. In the new COR NWO (and Group Works Council: GOR), employees from the university workgroups (BUW) will unfortunately not be represented, as no candidates put themselves forward. However, there will be a permanent COR contact person for the BUW. Recently COR NWO got together and NWO chair Marcel Levi attended the meeting.
Elections postponed
The transfer to the new COR NWO has been postponed until the start of July (instead of the start of May) of this year. The postponement is due to the network hack at NWO-D, the consequences of which were also experienced at the NWO-I office. As a result of this, the elections for the NWO works council, NWO-I office works council and the direct elections for BUW employees in the GOR were delayed. For the last two councils, the elections have already taken place; only the date for the election for the NWO works council still needs to be picked. Once it is known which members of the NWO works council will also be a member of the COR, then the new COR will introduce itself via this newsletter.
COR NWO and the BUW
In the new COR (and GOR), employees from the university workgroups (BUW) will unfortunately not be represented, as no candidates put themselves forwards. If you are a BUW employee and have a question for the COR NWO then please do not hesitate to contact us. You can do this via COR@nwo-i.nl. In July, the COR will decide who the new COR contact person is for the BUW employees and then this will be announced.
Contact with Executive Board members
At the start of June, the current COR NWO spoke with the Executive Board representative. The new president of NWO, Marcel Levi, attended this meeting for the first time. We discussed the general state of affairs and looked ahead to the next six months. We also made agreements about how and when the COR and GOR will be involved in different themes. We will provide more information about this in the next newsletter (when writing this newsitem, the meeting has not taken place yet). Therefore this will be the last news item from the current COR NWO.
