Update - Annan Dodges Bullet On No-Confidence Vote
Fox News - U.N. Staff: 'No Confidence' in Top Leaders

The vote is largely symbolic and has no effect over any U.N. officials' jobs. But it isn’t a good sign for the top leaders' effectiveness as heads of the world body.

Union members said the vote wasn’t directed at Annan but at the management of several top officials. In fact, the head of the labor organization said members actually did have confidence in Annan himself.

"We not only have confidence in him, we support him fully," said U.N. Staff Union President Rosemarie Waters on Friday after the no-confidence vote passed. "He is in a very difficult job under very difficult circumstances, but we continue to have hope that he is doing his best. We only want his senior managers to exhibit the transparency and accountability that he has prescribed for the organization."
