The old GMSC had a long, long history of cowardice and, truth be known, the
old guard are still in control - for the present. History does, indeed,
tell us that they will do anything rather than butt heads with HMG. They
threaten ballots then find a pseudo plausible excuse to avoid them - or
ignore them,.
However, times are a-changing. I don't know about you but I intend to take
this to the ropes.
It is essential that we have a ballot before the RB award is announced.
Not against the RB but making it quite plain to Mr Dobson or his successor
that staging will trigger immediate sanctions. If GMSC leadership refuse
to go along with this then it will signal equally clearly to Mr Dobson that
the professions' leaders don't care whether there is staging or not. It is
understood that HMG read Mailbase. The adoption of such a position by our
leadership should be a personal resignation issue for them, whoever they
may be - there are elections for new negotiators and Chairman in 2 weeks.
Please give the call for the pre-RB award ballot your support and seek as
much support elsewhere as you can.
Regards
David Roberts
GMSC
