PRAISE INDEED
The Hon Secretary recently received the following unsolicited email of praise and thanks from a member. “Dear Amar, I wanted to … write and thank you for the support that ALACE has provided me with during a particularly challenging set of negotiation meetings leading to my agreed exit from [Council]. Richard Penn has supported me stoically. He is a particularly wise individual and brought to the negotiation table experience and skill that were of particular benefit to me…I did not want to miss the opportunity to make it known to the wider ALACE membership how significant and important membership of this particular trade union is, and the level of high quality expertise that is available to support members in whatever circumstances they find themselves in.Latterly I have also had the pleasure of meeting and working with Cheryl Miller, [who]… has been particularly supportive in explaining many of the intricate nuances relating to the LGPS scheme and its relationship with potential redundancy payments…Regards, [ALACE member]
