Resolutions to Regional Council - Conduct of London Underground Functional / Tier 2 Elections
Submitted by admin on 21 May, 2010 - 10:06
The following two resolutions were submitted by Stratford no.1 discussed at the July meeting of the Regional Council. The vote was tied and therefore they fell. The President recommended that they be resubmitted next year and that branches discuss them in the meantime.
1. That elections for single seats on these councils be conducted by branch block vote using the Alternative Vote system (rather than first-past-the-post, as at present).
2. That each branch's block vote in these elections shall be the number of members of that branch employed in the relevant function (rather than total branch membership, as at present).
