Letter from Tony Reay

Dear all,

I have today been informed that my last day in City JCP will be 22/10/08 as I start adviser training on 23/10/08. Then after a week's annual leave I will start at Deptford JCP on Monday 03/11/08. From this date, I will be undertaking adviser training and then work for three days a week and Regional PCS work for two days a week, so will be managing my diary carefully!

Can I please request that anyone who has be on their distribution lists, remove my work email and use my home email at Tony.Reay@hotmail.co.uk in order to avoid my work mail box filling up. I will be spending Wednesday clearing what I can for East London Branch, handing over some cases/work, but will probably have to retain some others.

I would have appreciated a bit more time to compose a suitable leaving message, but it's probably a blessing in disguise that I have not! It would be unfair of me to single any rep I have worked with during nearly 20 years in East London for particular praise, as everyone I have worked with deserves credit for their contribution to the trade union movement and making PCS DWP East London Branch the envy of the rest of the union!

In solidarity
Tony Reay

Dear PCSU Member,

Many of you will know our Vice Chair Tony Reay who is based at City JCP. Tony is leaving City office and the East London Branch on 23 October after 19 years to take up at post at Deptford JCP.
I am sure that members will join me in thanking him for the hard work and sheer dedication that he has given to our branch during this time, particularly in the field of campaign and personal case work.
His catch phrase " got a job, got an office" is legendary. How we will miss that dry wit !!!!
On behalf of the branch we wish Tony Good luck and Best wishes for the future.
