They were recommendations from the Branches rather than the results of their members votes. It looks as though both branches did not convince the lay membership to follow their recommendation :sad: :sad:

Well if you judge a branch NO vote as the local rep recommending No. Then ours was a big NO vote.
We gave our area rep hell in the meeting that everyone had. Our local rep wouldn't even attend the meeting as he states we were well and truly stitched up.
This caused conflict between area and local rep. area rep stopped talking to our local guy.
What amazes me is at the meeting, we shouted out for support from area to local as we are getting shafted my our **** of a regional manager. He loves to sack people, brought in cdv a year ago, and we've seen 60people leave the branch in one year.

The members in Kent Invicta voted yes to the agreement and against their Branch`s recommendation. Only the 6 Branch`s I have listed did the members vote to reject the AGREEMENT.

Gwent Branch recommended no but it seems the members in Gwent voted No. So not as many sheep here in Wales as some Branch Officials seem to think.
