NIPSA General Council Elections

category national | worker & community struggles and protests | opinion/analysis author Saturday April 29, 2006 03:59author by Patrique - NIPSA Report this post to the editors

Uncivil Servant - The Truth

Uncivil Servant stand accused of playing politics at General Council. Uncivil Servant does not have anyone on General Council.

I read a recent thread concerning the daring deeds of Amanda Allaway, and the comments. Many of the comments seemed to think that Uncivil Servant had an alliance with TFC on the council.

Uncivil Servant does not have anyone on the General Council. Branch 8 had two members, now one, but they are not in Uncivil Servant.

The Uncivil Servant stance is that it does not matter who leads the union if there is no-one to lead. 95% did not vote in the General Council election, and I recently saw one sheet of paper containing 28 branches, 21 of which were not at conference. That is 75%.

If the membership is that apathetic, who cares who is on General Council?

We need a Branch Development officer to activate Branches, get the members interested, and get them involved. You need to build the Rank and File.

Then you will have someone to lead.

Uncivil Servant's relationship with TFC is somewhat strained, to put it mildly. They are not really on speaking terms, so it would be difficult to form an alliance.
