Field trial only — not union business. Same rules as a real consultative vote: roll first, then one vote, then a public count.

Both sides

Read this before you vote. Committee briefs are signed off when a poll opens. The digest restates both cases in equal weight — it is not a recommendation and not union policy.

AI digest is off on this host. The signed committee brief still stands.

Committee — for

Colour is a clean binary-ish choice with no industrial content. It lets the area watch turnout, rejected attempts, and the public chart without anyone claiming a mandate.

Committee — against

Even a colour poll can be misread as “the members have spoken”. The watermark and the trial flag exist so that cannot be said in good faith. Close it when the count is trusted.

Method

  • Eligible: membership numbers on the area roll frozen when this poll opened.
  • Check for this trial: membership number + last name. Not proof of identity.
  • One vote per membership number, not per Telegram account.
  • Named cases use full first and last name. No anonymous posts.
  • Anonymous totals only. Who voted for what is never published.

Named cases

Live board. Full first name and last name are required and shown. Membership number is stored and never displayed. No anonymous posts. Skip this if you only want the count.

    Red is already how we talk about watches. A colour vote is a clean turnout test with no industrial content, which is the whole reason this trial exists.

    Colour is not as empty as it looks. People will still pick a side for a laugh and then quote the percentage. The trial flag and the watermark have to travel with every share.
