No confidence in management

[zed3]

Has any unit ever passed and published a vote of "no confidence" on it's management? If so what was the result?

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

I'm not sure if votes of no confidence were involved but actions by controllers at a unit where I worked resulted in the early "departure" of two bosses.. Most notable was when a large number of ATCOs advertised themselves as "available" in Flight Magazine.... The brown stuff hitting the fan was amazing!!

I do recall an air of no confidence in a NATS senior manager some years ago...but it was countrywide rather than unit specific.
Think he went on to head Eurocontrol, or some part thereof...but I'm genuinely hazy on the detail....so I reserve the right to be wrong.

Think he went on to head Eurocontrol, or some part thereof Would his name have rhymed with an American truck producer?

Unfortunately the selection criteria used at Zed's unit are peculiar, particularly for higher management. It has often seemed that a pre-requisite is to have been vehemently against the very existance of the unit when appointing from outside the unit, and a total disregard for staff when appointing from within.
Unfortunately recent events there are proving this to be correct again. Unilateral decisions by management, agendas of meetings changed at the last minute, attempted intimidation of staff, and - despite this years +/- 7% increase in traffic handled, with reduced delays - measures resulting in reduced salary.

Forget "No confidence", bring back Guy Fawkes

Hi Lon,

Can't think of the truck manufacturer but it was in the early 80's and the poll was taken by GATCO. The aforementioned senior manager dismissed it because non-members had been allowed to vote!!

If the old grey cells are working properly, I think it was over recruitment and training of which there was little and we could see a shortage of staff looming.

KM went on to much greater things and has now passed on, I believe. Not sure that the vote actually achieved anyting!!

A I :confused:

AI it was KM. Never actually met the guy, I guess Maastricht was just too far away from Brussel for him to bother about the workers.
Died of cancer I believe.

Here's one. Try asking the staff at LBA what they think about the management and controlling council, I would say no confidence at all.
