Petition to Improve Security Flow for Interns and Short-Term Consultants During Peak Hours - UN Vienna
Petition to Assess the Impact of Security Queues on Non-Staff UN Personnel in Vienna During Peak Hours
(Including interns, short-term consultants, experts, and other non-staff personnel)
This petition is initiated by Non-Staff UN Personnel across UN organizations in Vienna to understand how daily security screening delays affect personnel entering the workplace, particularly during conference and MUN periods.
Currently, non-staff personnel often wait in visitor queues for 20–50 minutes, including in extreme weather conditions. This recurring situation may impact:
- Mental well-being: Stress and fatigue caused by long daily queues
- Punctuality: Delays in starting work and attending meetings
- Work performance: Reduced ability to perform duties effectively due to lost time and mental strain
The purpose of this petition is to gather information from non-staff UN personnel to show:
- Who is affected (name and surname)
- Which UN organization and department they belong to
Confidentiality:
Participation is voluntary. The information collected will be used only by the organizing team to prepare a report for UN Security and General Services. Your name and organization will be included in this report to show the number and diversity of affected personnel.
By signing this petition, you are helping to document the scale and impact of daily security delays, which will form the basis for constructive discussions with UN Security.

Standing in the rain for 40 minutes just to get to my desk is getting really old. Winter is coming and it’s going to be brutal.
ridiculous that we have to wait behind people who dont even have badges. fix it!!!!
Seriously it makes me look so unprofessional when I show up late to team meetings but I literally can't get through the gate any faster.
Fix this. We are supposed to be part of the place but get treated like tourists every single morning.
The queue during MUN weeks is absolutely insane. Needs a separate line for badge holders who are there every day.

Been late 3 times this week because of the line. Nobody listens when I say I was stuck at security.
