Welcome to the Generation 2004 Newsletter of 28 April 2021. In this latest edition we invite you to get involved: why not show us your kitchen-table or cupboard-under-the-stairs office space in our ‘Wild West of Teleworking’ photography contest or sign up to our lunchtime coaching session on how to efficiently work digitally?
We also take a look at what any future teleworking set-up might mean for a ‘new normal’ and the potential unintended consequences. We provide you with a summary of what needs to change with the electoral rules to make the staff representation better represent the staff, we look at recent events with the Interpreters’ Delegation and we explain our response to ‘sofagate’. This edition of the newsletter then turns to consider the not-yet-seen AST/SC SC6 staff: the Loch Ness monster of staff grades.
That’s all for now, we hope you will enjoy the reading and, as usual, we invite you to let us know what you think or to get in touch if we can help you in any way or there’s something you’d like to see us address.
