BECTU Urges High 'Turnout' For Voting

Union members at the BBC who want their votes to count in the ballot over pensions must ensure that ballot papers are received at the Electoral Reform Services (ERS) by 12 noon on Thursday 28 October.
In what is an important week for the union's members, BECTU representatives are set to meet again on Thursday morning. The ballot result will be shared with union members on Thursday afternoon.
The union's ballot is being administered by independent scrutineers, the Electoral Reform Services.
Last Friday, 22 October, union members observed a work-to-rule across the BBC in order to protect the strike mandate secured in September.
