Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Fellow Staff Representatives,

It is an honour and a pleasure to attend part of your Council deliberations and address this Council in my capacity as UNISERV Federation President.

As you know, the relationship between FICSA and UNISERV has been strong for a long time, built over time by our predecessors. This further strengthened and deepened over the last few years because of the excellent cooperation and coordination between our executive and yours.

A relationship based on honesty, trust, and the realisation that “we are stronger together”. This is also the motto we adopted for the staff union I am currently leading, the UNFSU.

Although we, as staff representative bodies, share a “unity of purpose”, it is clear that “unity” in this world and amongst the Member States that form our governing bodies is strained, to put it mildly.
