thanks to all the organisers of this site it is certainly keeping me up to date with what people are thinking and doing however my problem is I am still none the wiser as to our actual progress. How many people have registered with the site and how many have written to OPAS? Is there a prospect of a meeting being set up yet ? I suspect IBM folk, being the canny devils we are, are watching this site and waiting to see what happens. Problem is nothing will happen if we all do this. I think more people will be encouraged to act if the kind of information I want is provided.
The trustees have not been silenced , at least not the one I have just spoken to! I wrote to him by name at the pension fund and he wrote back with his phone number , fax number and e-mail address and then rang me at home and chatted for about half an hour. It is not fair to give his identity because I am sure a lot of people would descend on him but I do suggest people should do what I just did -- it worked.
