Electing your Branch Officials and Workplace Reps
One of the most important functions of the AGM is to elect officials to lead the branch for the year ahead. A whole range of different jobs are available in the branch each one carries a really important set of responsibilities. Whether you’re face to face with managers in negotiations, representing members in a disciplinary, or helping members with a welfare claim, all are necessary to create an effective union team.
Nomination forms for all roles can be found in the AGM booklet.
In circumstances where it is not possible to obtain a physical signature to propose or second a nomination then confirmation in writing from the proposer or seconder, either in a letter or email will be accepted.
If more than one nomination is received an election will be held where all members of the branch are invited to vote to select the preferred candidate. In the event of an election, voting papers will be circulated in advance of the AGM and returned before the AGM with the outcome announced at the AGM.
