Minutes 22nd april

By Mons, 26 April, 2011

 

Office Angels

- Seems like we’ve got a result! [Since the meeting, it looks like they’re delaying payment and they want pickets again I think, unless Dan’s paid by this Friday. Something we should and could easily do.]

- For future, and this is a more general point as well, we should have leaflets in different languages as well.

 

Vodafone CNT

- Auto to talk to SLSF about what exactly is going on.

- We’re up for it, and can talk to Jim, etc. about getting UK UnCut involvement - though in practise it’s probably no more than just asking them to join us.

 

SolFed Induction

- Need to check dates with rananegra, Mons to do.

- Mons to set doodle for next [this] week [sorry this hasn’t been done. I will do it for late this week and early next week instead].

 

Employment Law Course

- Tracy on holiday in Manchester and cant confirm dates until something else is confirmed. On hold for now, Ian will keep us in touch.

 

Contacts List

- Honeybee to set up list - Ian, Rob, Jerry, Benedict (facebook), Ellar (libcom)

- Auto to keep in contact and arrange meeting up with Rob, Jerry and Benedict.

- Mons to talk to Ian and arrange meeting.

 

Workplace Training

- Planned for Saturday 7th May, honeybee to ask about changing it to the 14th instead though!!

- This one is in Oxford.

- Honeybee to email Jerome about money - what’s it for, does it cover transport, etc.?

- Ian to check at Ruskin for possible venue and let us know.

- Room should be hired for 8-10 hours.

- The workplace training, especially for maintenance workers, in Reading or somewhere near there should still happen. Peter?

 

Motions

- Dealt with separately.

- Everybody not at meeting should reply to honeybee’s email and change the results to the vote according to what they want
