Calling a members meeting

Post by mandelsons_toenail »

I want to get all my units members together for a meeting.

What are my rights on this?

My Dom has refused it in the past.

Ideally I'd have 5 mins with everyone in the canteen.

Help!? :Very Happy

What I've done is ask DOM, if he says no, I've then tried to get all OPG to meet at the gate before the start of the day. If your members want to hear what you've got to say, then they will make the effort.

I had that argument once with someone who is now a director down south.
He said if you want to talk to them take them to the gate,I said i would but once out at the gate i couldn't promise i could get them back in,he said just use the canteen.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

You can't advocate strike action but if you want to have a union meeting, just tell your members where and when and those that want to come will come.
Do it during your break if it avoids confrontation and be prepared for all o/t requests to be declined.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Work Time Lying is a thing of the past in our d.o. In fact it's only ever used to inform the F/T about something some time prior to the P/T arriving to start work.
