Good to see you and talk at AGM, sorry ...Hi Jim.... Good to see you and talk at AGM, sorry we could not meet for that drink, maybe next time. Your recent post in my view is good summary of events and AGM. Be assured There are still activist within Branches and at NEC who have fought hard and continue to fight for both accountability and decisive action member can get behind and support. There are a number of key internal issues for Napo to address .....leadership, organisation, communication if we are to stop member leaving, if we are to recruit and inspire new members and build the belief. Our union has in recent times had difficult issues to deal with and not always done that well. The problems that came to light with our past GS and the resulting suspension of 3 members of the NEC was a very low point. However, like the Phoenix we I hope raise from that disgraceful episode ....grow stronger and move forward<br />Regards <br />BEA.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715221754768324867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-78270899651586193802014-10-11T01:16:06.734+01:002014-10-11T01:16:06.734+01:00Anon23:14 - you are correct.

(There is no post of 11.52).Anyone who reads this blog would know theres considerable concern as to what might be debated and agreed at AGM and not all can attend.Its better surely that members are eager to know and participate from a distance than to take no interest at all. Attending AGM confers no moral superiority-members who maintain endeavours throughout the year are what keep values and standards alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578343158425987632.post-65265793394932423462014-10-10T23:14:27.604+01:002014-10-10T23:14:27.604+01:00Come on 20:12 that was just one person's opini...Come on 20:12 that was just one person's opinion.
