Past Regional Council meetings

The following resolution submitted by Stratford No 1 Branch fell 9 votes to 4 at the October 27th Regional Council meeting.

This Region reaffirms its support for the policy of functional and tier two reps returning to the workplace after a three year term in office.
This Region also supports the ability of functional reps to stand down from the level 1 position if they so choose.
However this Region believes that it is unfair that candidates for functional council have to be local reps in order to be eligible.

1. TAXI newpaper - submitted by London Taxi Branch
That the London Taxi Branch requests the General Secretary to take all legal steps possible to stop the constant barrage of misinformation which emanates from the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association newspaper publication TAXI which is destroying the good standing and reputation of the RMT London Taxi Branch within the London Taxi fraternity.

This resolution, submitted by LU Engineering branch, was remitted following discussion at the Regional Council AGM. It will be reconsidered and discussed further at a future meeting.

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).
