Not 100% on this but your rep may have signed of stage 4 without balloting you's, and now your manager will be able to press ahead without you's ever being balloted. oops!

Maybe better to grill your area rep. If your reps signed it off without balloting you's at stage 4 he maybe didn't know, that RM could do the last 2 stages on their own. your area rep should have made sure this didn't happen.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The rep needs agreeemnt from mbrs, how he gets that is up to him/you/branch policy,

My personal preference is for paper ballots with ballot box taking place whilst Im on leave so the more parnoid mbrs cant accuse me of knobbling the ballot. :chuckle :d'oh!

Thats very interesting ,we are bieng told by rep that he doesnt have a say and if he doesnt sign,it will be brought in through the framework ,whatever that means.would i be right in saying thats executive action and against the spirt of agreement??

Yes, at no point did 2010 say local ballots were being abolished.

I wouldnt touch a revision with a barge poll if local ballots were abolished for major change revisons. The hassle from mbrs even with a democratic ballot in place is more than enough.

Bringing in a revison is agreed at national level, the exact content of the revision is to be agreed at local level and endorsed by the local mbrs in the same way national agreements were reached at national level and then endorsed by the national membership.
