Regular readers (Sid and
Doris Rulebook Anorak) will know that this blog is knowledgeable about the work
of the Certification Officer, to whom some bloke called Coyne has today
complained about the recent election for General Secretary of UNITE.
This Coyne chap claims the
timing of publicity around his complaint (in the week before a General
Election) is determined by statutory timetables.
A complaint to the
Certification Officer has to be made within six months of the incident, or – if
the matter has been subject to a complaint internally within the trade union,
within either six months of the outcome of that complaint or twelve months of
the incident, whichever is the sooner.
So…

Thank you for making this clear to us,Jon, it explains a lot about the value of timing, and the real values and purposes of some " clock-watchers".
What happens if there was an incident six months ago that relates to the GS election?
Didn't the recent complaint about the Unison GS election refer to a matter that happened before the ballot result was announced?
Unless you know what is in the complaint you can't draw any conclusions about timing, can you?
