There might be uproar but that does not mean there is an obligation to have a vote , in the past 12/18 months ive seen several things agreed for drivers with some mess room moaning but no changes to full time officer , or company council reps . I honestly remain to see what could be done if the council + Full time officer agreed to driver release without a vote . Honestly not very much once its agreed its agreed .Yes the would.
It's a change to my working conditions, with increased productivity. There would be uproar if they did try to impose it without a vote as it contravenes DRI which would require amendment which was voted on last time.
It's not in my contract, or job description to open doors on any unit except ad-hoc ECS moves.
And before you thinking I am being anti ASLEF . The exact same could happen on the guards side .
