February 2008 branch update reproduced below;

1) Move of staff to new premises in Swansea is apparently still going ahead although the date is uncertain & impact of UK Border Agency (UKBA) not being factored in;
 
2) Changes due to announcement of UKBA still unclear, Border & Immigration Agency (BIA) management in Wales not aware of any proposals as yet for the structure of UKBA i.e. Wales as an operational unit or with another part of UK;
 
3) Second meeting of PCS reps from BIA & Customs next Monday at PCS HQ, to discuss latest position, agree how PCS should proceed etc.
 
4) This branch is undergoing a bit of turmoil at the moment - there is a possibility that the branch may split in two with Wales & South West becoming a separate branch although we'll have to get the NEC to agree this even with re-organisation due to UKBA on the horizon.
 
5) PCS Wales Committee - we're no longer entitled to send a delegate to even the AGM of this committee which seems unfair on the PCS members in Wales that the branch has - please efer to the motions I circulated earlier this week.
 
6) Industrial action - it looks like the strike on 31st Jan in the HO over thei mposed pay offer is almost definitely not on.  The GEC decision was linked to HMRC achieving a 'Yes' vote and it seems very unlikely that we'll go ahead based on the info. on the PCS website.
