Hi Tom,
I have been a lifelong trade unionist… like my father before me. My Dad was 'Father Of The Chapel'… a leader of the print union the NGA. I was a Youth Delegate, Area Delegate, Branch Secretary and Area Executive Officer for the NUM… Chairperson then President of NATFHE (Further Education Union) and then Regional Officer for the East Of England (from Watford to Grimsby & Hull, East Anglia, Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and of course Scunthorpe) for the Musicians' Union… 17 Branches with their own Branch Secretaries that I oversaw and managed.
I have got to say that most management officials hid behind their head office… but occasionally there were exceptions… like your management. I think that they have been wonderful with you and to you and they obviously think very highly of you to set you up as they have. 😎
Well done them… and well done you. 🙂 😎 😀
Dai.
