I went to a meeting a few months back, that was set up by my union, Unite. It was with Marc Harris, who is the Chief of Staff, Central Delivery Team, Critical Workers identity Cards Scheme.
We had a robust discussion about ID cards and their benefit. One person saw their benefit, a Mr. Marc Harris, obviously. My unions position appeared to be that they are coming, so lets unite and get the various businesses involved to pay for them. Make from that what you will about Labour Party allegiance.
Mr. Harris also said if you have any further queries from yourself or anyone else, then fee free to contact him. His email is
[email protected] (if you cannot see this email and you would like it, then please PM me as it appears not to display.)
Most of the CEO's of UK Airlines have put their names to a letter showing opposition to the scheme being introduced for airport workers. I would imagine that this is because when the first groups apply for the ID card, then the individual would be looking for their company to foot the bill.
