Further to the report given in CWU Briefing No.26, paragraph 268,
follow-up representation has led to conversions of 3 FTC posts to
permanent status.

the break back is as follows:
Colindale 1 permanent post
Muir House 2 FTC posts
Yarnfield 5 posts: 2 permanent and 3 fixed term
Branches with any supporting evidence on future volumes which may
assist in representations on conversion should contact Head Office.

387 Cellnet Radio Cell Site Regrade
The BT Wholesale Executing negotiating team had to resolve, what was
a very unsatisfactory position with regard to a lack of an agreed
commitment to reband a number of members who were in Cellnet at the
time of discussions. These members were performing the above-named
function. That has now been resolved and attached in the electronic
distribution is a spreadsheet detailing those members who are to be
rebanded to D1.
Brian Healy, Assistant Secretary
388 BT Syntegra - Membership
We have recently written to branches known to have members in BT
Syntegra in order to verify the head office records. Branches who
believe that they do have members in BT Syntegra and have not been
contacted by this department are requested to furnish names and
membership numbers of those members who they believe are employed by
the company.
We have also written to branches known to have BT Syntegra members inviting them to a meeting at CWU Headquarters on 26th September. Representatives from Connect will also be present and the purpose will be to initiate a membership campaign.

389 Conference on Health & Safety Law Enforcement and
Corporate Accountability -
Wednesday 21 November 2001
The Centre for Corporate Accountability is holding a conference
looking at how the Health and Safety Executive and Legal Authorities
enforce Safety Law and how the Criminal Justice system can hold
companies and their Senior Officers to account for their safety
failures which result in death, injury and disease.
The Labour Government has committed itself to reforming the law on
manslaughter and enacting a new safety bill. The Health and Safety
Commission is publishing a new enforcement policy statement. This is
an important time to explore the issues involved and influence these developments.
When: Wed 21 November 2001
Where: TUC Congress House, Great Russell Street, London WC1
Time: 9.00am - 6.00pm
