Branch Election

Post by Muppet71 »

Hello,

Our branch elections are not due till the summer, I'm the main rep in my office but what happens if somebody else stands for election as well, can I cover myself so I'm still involved by getting nominated for deputy rep as well?


Thanks

That's forward thinking muppet - contact your branch they should be able to tell you. Our branch has one bloke holding two posts with commensurate release time

Yeah I just know somebody else wants to do it and think It will be a close call in voting as some people realise how hard I work but others expect me to control what happens in the office and it's not always that easy.

TBH I'd let him have a go if he thinks he can do a better job then maybe he'd find it's not all milk, honey and an easy delivery.
