New today:

 No news is good news!  They do say, however as you'll note from the latest message from the Chief Executive there is no news on pay negotiations.  Whether that's good news or not remains to be seen.

Admin restructure:

 The branch has grave concerns about how this is shaping up and have asked SEPA for an urgent meeting of the Change Process Group to discuss this and other restructures powering their way through the organisation.  We hope to have this meeting scheduled for early January 2009.
