LTB 490/18 - National Rule 14 & Complaints Procedure Byelaws

No: 490/18

30th August 2018

TO: ALL BRANCHES
Dear Colleague

National Rule 14 & Complaints Procedure Byelaws
Branches will be aware that the New National Rule 14 was endorsed at this year’s Annual Conference.

The main thrust of the change was to switch the emphasis from one of discipline and punishment to complaint and resolution. The main changes are as follows:

New title – Dispute Resolution
One clear route of administration for all complaints via GS department
Includes the National Complaints Procedure within the rule
Change the make-up of the NDC
Rename the Independent Review Body to Independent Appeals Panel (IAP)
Change the make-up of the IAP to consist of 3 totally independent members
The NDC will have an automatic right to attend the IAP
New Byelaws for the NDC, IAP and Complaints Procedure
The NDC byelaws agreed by the NEC are required by rule to be endorsed by the next available General Conference which will be 2019.

The Complaints Procedure byelaws agreed at the July NEC meeting dovetail into the new rule and now complete the process for any complaints / disputes received in the GS Department.

For ease of reference National Rule 14 and new byelaws are attached. Any future issues raised under National Rule 14 should be addressed to gs-rule14@cwu.org.

Any enquires on the above LTB should be addressed to gs-rule14@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely





Tony Rupa

Assistant Secretary, NDC
