Current Situation. Work-life balance is a key component of workplace gender equality. It is also a strong demand from all employees, particularly in employee satisfaction surveys.
Current Situation. The parties agree on the definition of discrimination as unequal treatment based on one unlawful criterion without objective justification. They note that discrimination criteria can vary depending on the country or region. As part of this agreement, the criteria taken into consideration are those which are recognised at an international level, i.e.: age, sex, origin, ethnicity, nationality or race, pregnancy, health, disability, genetic characteristics, sexual orientation, political beliefs, union activities, philosophical opinions, religious beliefs and the fact of belonging or not a particular religion.
Current Situation. The Group regularly communicates with its employees to raise awareness of gender equality and combatting discrimination, whether through the intranet, the Diversity communities on the Plazza corporate social network, or via communication campaigns or events organised worldwide, for example during International Women’s Day. Moreover, internal diversity networks in several countries (Wenity umbrella network, Orange Business Services DoubleYou networks, etc.) also play an important role in this field by offering conferences, personal development workshops and meetings with managers.
Current Situation. In the one hundred-and-fourteenth session of WP.29, the following proposal was formulated for interpretation of Article 12 of the 1997 Agreement (TRANS/WP.29/609, para. 92): "specific authorization shall be required to carry out periodical technical inspections on behalf of another Contracting Party to the Agreement." The Administrative Committee (AC.4) of the 1997 Agreement discussed this interpretation during the one hundred-and-twenty-ninth session of WP.29. It agreed to resume the consideration at its third session, in June 2003. The Contracting Parties were invited to present their proposals for consideration, if their views diverged from the interpretation mentioned above (TRANS/WP.29/909, paras. 153-157).
Current Situation. At the end of 2017, the overall female employment rate within the Group was 35.7%. However there were significant discrepancies depending on the business line: ▪ 53% in Support Functions ▪ 44% in Customer Care ▪ 40% in Content and Multi-media ▪ 23% in Information Systems ▪ 22% in Innovation ▪ 15% in Networks. As a general rule, women are under-represented in technical roles, even if the situation is less clear- cut in certain countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Senegal, or even in Romania.
Current Situation. In July 2020, renewed skirmishes between Azerbaijan and Armenia broke out. An exchange of drone and artillery strikes in the Tavush (Armenia) and Qazakh (Azerbaijan) regions resulted in the deaths of at least 17 military personnel, including an Azerbaijani major-general. This prompted opposition-led protests in Baku, which called for war. Through July and August, the Azerbaijani armed forces conducted military exercises with Turkish support. This appears to have foreshadowed a major offensive by Azerbaijan, which was launched on 27 September. Supported by Turkish drones, military advisors and, allegedly, j ihadist m ercenaries from Syria, the Azerbaijani armed forces succeeded in capturing Armenian-controlled territory to the south of Nagorno-Karabakh along the Iranian border, as well as the city of Shusha, which overlooks Nagorno-Karabakh’s capital, Stepanakert. Baku and Ankara appear to have taken advantage of the distracted global environment, as well as the need to act before harsh winter weather set in. Over the course of the fighting, both sides also targeted infrastructure outside of Nagorno- Karabakh in artillery and rocket attacks. For example, Azerbaijani units destroyed a b ridge linking Armenia with Nagorno-Karabakh, while the Armenian military s helled Azerbaijan’s second-largest city, Ganja, on four occasions, narrowly missing oil pipeline infrastructure. As of 22 October, according to e stimates cited by Russian President Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, almost 5,000 people had been killed during the renewed hostilities, most of them in and around Nagorno-Karabakh. The toll has likely risen considerably since then. Ultimately, the Armenian and Nagorno-Karabakh armed forces were overwhelmed by the military superiority of the Azerbaijanis and Turks, losing a pproximately 100 tanks, 50 armoured combat vehicles and 130 artillery pieces – or some 3 5% of its inventory. On 9 November, Armenian Prime Minister Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Azerbaijani President Xxxxx Xxxxxx signed an agreement brokered by Russian President Xxxxx, which established a full ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. As part of the ceasefire agreement, the warring parties will retain control over the territories that they currently possess. However, by 1 December, Armenia is obliged to return to Azerbaijan the districts outside of Nagorno-Karabakh that it has controlled since 1994, as well as two small Azeri exclaves in the north-eastern region of Tavush. Armenia will retain control of the Lachin corridor, t...
Current Situation. The County and the Park representatives have indicated that their jurisdictions will not support funding a replacement of Central Library in the City of Manassas. The Park has stated that they will not have capital funding available until 2030 at the earliest. The County does not currently have any plans to put any money towards additional library projects having just completed the Haymarket/Gainesville and Potomac libraries. The Library Trustees currently favor renovating Central Library which is estimated to cost $8,228,480 and will seek CIP funding for that project along with a renovation of Potomac Library. The cities will be asked to contribute to that renovation however, as stated earlier Manassas Park has said the earliest they could contribute to a CIP project would be 2030. The County expects that their funding for renovation is at best 6 years out. An alternative to renovating Central would be for the 3 parties to each fund their own capital project of a smaller, neighborhood library facility and potentially close Central. Manassas Park could provide in-kind space for a neighborhood library in one of their commercial projects earlier than 2030. The County would look to center a smaller facility in the Yorkshire area and the City would look for a location at the Manassas Museum or other location. There was also discussion of keeping Central and the cities could do their own neighborhood libraries but this would increase operating costs to the cities of approximately $300,000 to fund additional staff and operations of the new neighborhood libraries within the PWCLS. County staff is preparing a matrix of these options to forward to the governing bodies. A draft overview was provided to the PWCLS Trustees on March 15, 2018 (attached). This report is due to the governing bodies no later than July 1, 2018 and the current agreement expires June 30, 2020.
