There was a branch Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) yesterday, 17th September 2009 held in Tommies.The following motions were discussed and voted on at the meeting and both were carried unanimously and become branch policy.
Motion 1
This EGM is aware that General Secretary elections will take place in PCS this year. This EGM agrees to nominate Mark Serwotka as General Secretary of PCS and agrees that Mark Serwotka should be supported by the Branch Machinery in his bid to be re-elected and pledges to support the Serwotka campaign.
Motion 2
In a bid to reduce the amount of paper used in the union office which will benefit the environment and be a time saving initiative, this EGM agrees that, where possible, e-mails will be sent to members instead of paper distribution. To accomplish this, all members will be put onto the members’ mailing list as soon as possible regardless of whether they have previously ‘opted-in’ to this system or not. This EGM also notes that in some circumstances e-mail cannot be used and so paper distribution or desk dropping will need to be used instead.
