Dear Colleagues,
The UN has
declared security phase IV for Cote d'Ivoire. The
ILO has or will therefore evacutae all international
staff. For local staff, certain measures of help and
support are being considered by the Office, to protect
our colleagues and their families. The Staff Union
Committee is in direct and daily relations with our
colleagues in Abidjan.
A crisis
Committee has been established by the Abidjan Regioinal
Office. This Committee has created a Solidarity Fund
to provide urgent support in response to specific
requests.
The Staff
Union Committee has obviously contributed to this
Fund according to its possibilities. Some of the Union
branches in the Field outside of Africa have also
announced their contribution.
BUT SOLIDARITY
NEEDS TO BE AS BROAD AS FEASIBLE.
To help
our colleagues, we therefore organize, today Thursday
at 12 noon a collect of funds in front of the Cateferia,
R2 North. Please contribute in numbers, thus becoming
part to the Office effort toawrds solidarity.
The more
we are, the stronger solidarity with our colleagues
