Brumwell set to head up skills register
UCATT general secretary George Brumwell is expected to succeed Tony
Merricks as chairman of the Construction Skills Certification
Scheme (CSCS) when it holds its annual general meeting at the end
of January.
It is anticipated that current deputy chairman, TGWU national
secretary Bob Blackman, will step down at the same time to make way
for an employer nominee in that post.
Merricks told CJ: "The post is subject to an election. Nominations
have not yet closed. At the moment there are two individuals in the
running. We will know the result on 22 January."
George Brumwell is due to retire from his UCATT post in October
2004.
