Dear Colleague

AGENDA FOR GROWTH, STABILITY AND LONG TERM SUCCESS AGREEMENT – REVISED BALLOT TIMETABLE

The purpose of this LTB is to advise Branches, representatives and members that it has been necessary to revise the individual membership ballot timetable on the above mentioned agreement. The new timetable is as follows:-

Ballot Opens on the 21st January 2014

Ballot Closes on the 5th February 2014

It is important that we have an informed debate with the membership on all aspects of the agreement and the revised timetable enable us to facilitate two further Local Reps Briefings in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which will also help with Branch cost and travel arrangements.

In conjunction with the Communication’s Department, we have also drawn up a Communications Plan, which includes a pamphlet to members’ home addresses and this will be distributed immediately following the Local Reps Briefings.

The Branches in Scotland and Northern Ireland have already been advised in a separate email of the date and venues for their respective Local Reps Briefings.

Any enquiries on the above should be addressed to the DGS (P) Department.

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward
Deputy General Secretary (P)

"Nobody is buying this dog. We really, really, really need to sell it."

"P.S. Did we mention the BACK DATED PAY?"

"P.S. Did we mention the BACK DATED PAY?"

Not yet but I would imagine it would feature in the first 20 words - "Morning delegates, we'd like to welcome you to the sale of the century and open the debate with Back Pay"

I would not bet any amount of money against that.

Perhaps we're just too cynical and it may be a reasoned debate with both Pros and Cons..............what am I saying course it won't be, more like Slippery Sid flogging a clapped out old banger.

I hope lunch is provided.

Well I think it's a Greggs voucher, they didn't want to push the boat out too far because the subs are going up in January probably.

Merged from News - for 3 reasons.

1. This thread was already here.
2. Its not really a News item as in its not an item from another site with a link that could be called News for outsiders.
3. Calling the Union w*****s was hardly appropriate in the first post of a thread in the News section.
