In the first rank for courage

Article Abstract:

Elizabeth Symons, 41, a Cambridge graduate, entered the civil service in 1974 and in 1989 became general secretary of the Association of First Division Civil Servants, a trade union with 10,500 members. She is concerned about negotiations in the possible move to Canary Wharf and the lack of a published survey into it. She believes plans to contract out civil service work will lead to monopolies for firms winning contracts and increased possibility of corruption. Opportunity 2000 has improved civil service employment somewhat but appointments have not been examined under it.
