122 to all three. Leave it up to them to choose who
123 does something that you ask to be done. Always be
124 encouraging them to work
125 as a team.</p><p>A small uplift across the board, say 1%, would be a good

130 of [the situation] are widely shared</p><p>You'll need to reset/review/renew the situation with MEK
131 for what's coming next, say next 3 months</p><p>Gave a relevant Job Description for Manchester to HST</p><p class="a">HST to circulate Manchester Job Description</p><p class="a">Get a system for notice when contract renewal
