ADM motions

It's that time of year again - your chance to have an issue debated by the union's premier power.

October's meeting is when you have the opportunity to propose a motion to be discussed at next year's Annual Delegate Meeting.

So whatever the issue come and along and state the case for it. The branch has to adopt the motion of course.

It would help us greatly if you plan to propose something, to have it written up before the meeting. Two years we proposed a couple of items which were more or less dreamt up on the spot and therefore inelegantly worded. They were, quite rightly, thrown out because of ambiguities or uncertain meaning.

So get a friend to look it over perhaps, or get it subbed, and it should stand a greater chance of being accepted on next year's ADM agenda. Branches are advised to submit a maximum of four motions and the deadline is November 7, which means our October meeting is the only chance for us to discuss possible motions.
