Ayrprox,
Absolutely superb post......sums up my own feelings exactly.
I have to agree 100% with Mr 777 regarding the suggested non-official support from Prospect. We are repeatedly told that it is OUR Union - if the members decide that a ballot for action is required then they (BEC/whoever) can either follow the wishes of the members or get the h**l out and let someone else in who is prepared to properly represent us. Ignoring
Democratically formulated Branch Policy is shocking - we may as well tear up the handbook, forget the Annual Delegate Conferences and not even bother having a Union. Shades of a certain Government - vote for us and we will do a/b/c etc but hey, we are now in power and we will do what we like.
