and by the way, I've been told that the reps do the voting at conferences, not the BEC.
No change there then. And without wishing to be provocative if people think it is any other way then they have a lot to learn about how the process works. Conference is about the members being represented by delegates that the members choose to represent them and it is these, and only these people who get to vote.
The ballot forms are to be returned to Prospect who have not exactly been unbiased in this matter
I owld suggest it is rare for any ballot to be held without a recommendation to accept. Otherwise it is an admission that the negotiators think there is further to go. This situation is absolutely no different.
The Prospect count will in theory be "checked/watched" by an ATCO. However I don't believe this will actually be done in practice
Why an ATCO-because we are so special compared to the other grades?
I'll ask again are you also unhappy with the PCS process as well?
