The
ballot papers will be stored in accordance with the requirements of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation)
Act 1992 as amended by the Trade Union Reform and Employment Rights Act 1993.
As Scrutineers
appointed in accordance with Section 49 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (as amended), we
are satisfied as to each of the matters specified in subsection 52(2) with regard to the election. The following points should
also be noted:
1) The person
appointed under section 51A to carry out the storage and counting of voting papers was Electoral Reform (Ballot Services)
Limited.
2) The person
appointed under Section 51A to carry out the distribution of the voting papers was Electoral Reform (Mailing Services) Limited
and we are satisfied with their performance.
3) A copy
of the register of voters (as at the relevant date) was examined in accordance with section 49(3). The examination took place
at our own instance and did not reveal any matter that should be brought to the attention of the trade union.
We would
draw your attention to 52(4), 52(5) and 52(6). Section 52(4) requires that a
copy of this report be published and made available to all members of the GMB within a three month period from today. This
however, does not mean that every member has to be notified individually.
Yours sincerely,
Charlene Hannon
Project Manager
