IR Framework

Post by heathrow86 »

Hello, i have to be careful how i write this query, i am a local unit rep and my line manager has not followed the correct procedure in relation to a national agreeement. I have gone to a stage 1 disagreement on this, however he has responded on the seventh day, and not within the week as specified in the ir framework. He has said he is not prepared to accept the disagreement, also to make matters worse he has also gone ahead with the change even though i asked for this to be stopped until the disagreement had been resolved . The question i have what do i do now?

I would probably do that first but I would also take it higher.
Although you're not supposed to contact your divisional rep and HQ for every little issue a manager completely ignoring the IR Framework and pushing through changes without agreement is something that has to be flagged up as high as possible as quickly as possible.

I might also remind the manager that if he feels able to skip 3 stages of disagreement and go straight to executive action then obviously the office would be well within their rights to do the same and go straight to a rule 13 ballot.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

And let's not forget, he is now breaking the law.
A phone call to a no win no fee solicitor might be a good idea. :cuppa

agreement has not been voted in yet so not breaking the law just yet, thats why he probably forced it in before the agreement has been agreed to

The manager is still held by the present IRF. You have registered a disagreement at stage 1 and he has unilaterally instigated executive action. Immediately contact your area rep and request a rule 13 ballot. Speak to your branch secretary and get them to speak to your div rep if the area rep stalls.

LOL.... Nothing changes, the CWU HQ get a groundbreaking deal, and the management ignore it

Still, another new agreement might be voted in soon, then we can all put the rule 13 ballot behind us.......... :Very Happy
