<p>Maybe it is stretching the point, but I can see lots of balance in this photograph.  It was taken yesterday after my regional (trade union) committee meeting.  I had hoped to take quite a few photographs in the city, but as you can see from this photo the light was failing and it was only 15.15.</p>
<p>The meeting was long and we didn&#8217;t manage to get through the agenda items in the time alloted, but it was however very productive and informative.  We discussed many issues, two key ones were the <a href="http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/campaigns/cscs/unions-outraged-branch-briefing.cfm" target="_blank">Civil Service Compensation Scheme</a> (CSCS) talks and the <a href="http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/midlands/myvc/index.cfm" target="_blank">Make Your Vote Count Campaign</a> (MYVC).</p>
<p>Recently the Civil Service management announced unilateral changes to the CSCS and at the meeting we received an update on how the negotiations had progressed so far and what the next step would be.</p>
<p>The MYVC aims to put pressure on candidates in the forthcoming elections by canvasing their opinion and seeking commitment on key issues for the public sector.  This campaign has been building for 4 years and been tested during the local and European elections, with lessons learned we are ready for the challenge.</p>
<p>After all that hard work and the photo challenges the only thing to do was stay for dinner in the city, but that is for another post <img src='http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
