I don`t trust any of the contenders after all the Tories have been in power for 12 years.
What would really amuse me is if Boris having rushed back to the UK to save us (as per the Cult of Boris) fails to get 100 backers and so falls at round one :)

As a Civil Servant I *was* supposed to be in the office today - that was until I got a message yesterday afternoon to say NOT to come into the office due to a flood and instead work from home.

I am a Civil Servant (like Wolfie), last year we voted to accept revised terms & conditions which gave me a 13% payrise over 3 years BUT the changes to my T&C included
Changes to my flexi

Thank you - and your right I regularly ask members if they have any issues and talk to my management team about them and more importantly provide feedback.
That way they see the Union doing something for them and it hopefully persuades non-members to join !.
Most unions will only agree to represent a member for issues arising from the date of joining, they don`t wont officially represent for issues that occurred prior to joining
( I am a Union rep in a Civil Service department and officially my Union won`t represent for any incidents that happened...
