Two national secretaries appointed
by Bernard Harbor

The union’s National Executive has approved the appointment of Katie Morgan as national secretary and Ashley Connolly as national secretary in due course. These senior Fórsa posts, which involve heading up a division or department of the union, were filled following a confined competition.

 

Katie has been assigned as national secretary for the Services and Enterprises division, where deputy general secretary Matt Staunton has been leading since the retirement of Angela Kirk earlier this year. But Ashley will cover the position on an acting basis for the time being as Katie is about to go on maternity leave.

 

Ashley will also continue to be the lead official for cabin crew, but her direct responsibility for the Health and Safety Authority branch and CORU cases are to be reassigned.

 

Earlier this year the National Executive agreed to make two appointments, at least one of which must be a woman, when national secretary posts become available. The second appointee will take up the next post that becomes available. The measure was put in place to address the gender imbalance in the union’s top posts.
