The only reason to rush through a vote on a offer without full scrutiny and to call off strikes at the 11th hour is if you are offered an incredible deal
Is this an incredible deal?
Members will get a vote on this offer.
I donโt think that this can be presented as bypassing members - itโs empowering every resident in our union with a decision.
The executive committee voted democratically, and it was decided to put this to members.
We received a deal at 10pm last night, it wasnโt possible to convene a committee meeting of 69 members at a few hours notice. The executive committee was the next best option.
There is now a clear decision for members:
Vote yes to accept this offer.
or
Vote no to reject and for significant escalation in action.
I think that is precisely the opposite of bypassing members!
