Guests and more
There were quite a few questions under the accountability slot. I got one under the TUO heading about the national reps panel.It's slightly strange as an official to spend most of the weekend being quiet! But it's good for the soul.
We have many guests with us this year and Conference heard from 3 either side of lunch.
Brian Caton, GS of the POA, gave a rousing assessment of his union's recent one day strike, its causes, and trade union freedoms.
John McDonnell, MP, an old friend of Napo, spoke with his usual insight into the political challenges facing Napo and the whole public sector.
And Conference was particularly pleased to hear from Isaiah Munyua, Chair of KNAPO, a Napo equivalent organisation for probation staff in Kenya. Isaiah is spending AGM with us along with his colleague, Eunice Wakoli. Isaiah spoke about probation work in Kenya and extended an invitation to all members to visit the country providing a number of attractive examples of places to visit!
