Ask yourself whether previous tactics have been successful. If you think
they have, then tell us all how successful when we are 50-odd% below
comparators.
The ballot would be on sanctions being taken immediately the government
decides to phase the award. In other words, staging would trigger the
sanctions. GPC has plenty of time from here on in to discuss what
sanctions and, indeed, GMSC set up a special committee to do just that over
out-of-hours
As I have said before, if there is a low turnout then that would indeed
mean that colleagues didn't care whether they were staged or not. Do you
believe that?
In that case HMG would stage the award but they have already let it be
known that they intend to interfere with it by capping or staging. So
what is to be lost.
It is essential for it to be known that this is not an attack on the RB.
HMG keep saying it's "independent", then let us help them to emphasise that
by honouring its award for once. I am sure Mr Dobson would agree.!
I think it would be a pleasant change for GMSC/GPC to be gutsy on our
behalf.
