The Americans have Area 51 which is a secretive research facility where only the people working in the area know what’s happening. No one knows if the activities are legal or what’s spent on them. All the American tax payers know is that it exists. We have section 52 of the Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act 2006.

As there has been no change in the behaviour of the Board, and the Minister is not prepared to hold them accountable, the Federation is again forced to take action, but not before a letter warning of this pending action was sent to the Minister.

At this time of the year a lot of people reflect on the year gone by, but for us it has been business as usual continuing with the fight to hold the Board accountable so we thought we would tell you what’s on the agenda for the Federation next year.
