Rule 13

[Stormproof]

We had a union meeting this morning, off the premises, as we were'nt allowed to hold it in the building. Everybody voted for Rule 13 to be implemented. We were told any longer than 20 minutes we would be suspended, even though it was in 'our' meal relief. Its not looking good at our place and looks like we will walk soon.

My office asked for one nearly 2 months ago but we've heard nothing since

RULE 13 Industrial Action

1. The NEC, Annual Conference, Special Conference or a properly convened Branch Meeting may in furtherance of the Union’s objectives decide to authorise, endorse, call or take industrial action, including strike action. All such action must be within the law and in accordance with, and in compliance of, all statutory obligations, inclusive of ballots etc. Where a Branch decides to take action to protect immediate local interests, the General Secretary and NEC must be informed.

2. For the avoidance of doubt it is confirmed that nothing contained in these Rules empowers a Branch or any other person, committee, group or body of persons to authorise, endorse, call or take industrial action without there being a statutory ballot and compliance in all other respects with the requirements of Part V of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 as amended or replaced from time to time.
