In principal 100% yes as I believe a transition to higher wages by all companies will help to stabilise the UK economy, especially in the current Brexit uncertainty. Whilst employers don't always see the benefit it can also help them as it will improve retention and as a direct result reduce training costs.would you vote for or against the trust introducing the living wage and why?
Hi Andy,Having read your, and the rest of the candidates 'Manifestos', i do not recognise you or have heard of you before so a question for you all;
Do you contribute in any way as a volunteer towards ECFC through what is generally known as 'getting your hands dirty'? By that i include Work Parties, clearing up post games, Grecian Goal, 19/31, in fact anything other than sitting on committees?
I ask all candidates this but, as i know Pete Martin and what he brings to the club, as a volunteer, i'm not requiring a reply from him but if he feels he should answer for fairness then that is up to him.
I would were it an option as i think the voting was very close in the end, had the distance been further i would have said no. However to my knowledge an unsuccessful candidate cannot be coopted on to the board.Bad luck on missing out by a small margin.
There should be a vacancy for a further Trustee following Sean Devine’s departure. If the Trust Board seeks to co-opt you would you serve ?
Nothing in the Rules to prevent it, though there are governance issues around it becoming the norm.I would were it an option as i think the voting was very close in the end, had the distance been further i would have said no. However to my knowledge an unsuccessful candidate cannot be coopted on to the board.
I have no confirmation of this but it is something i think i remember hearing last year.
