PCS members in the civil service and non departmental public bodies are currently involved in a national dispute over jobs, pay and conditions. Many of us now face below inflation pay offers, serious threats of compulsory redundancy or relocation and the rising tide of privatisation.

Our Demands

• Guarantees of no compulsory redundancies or relocation
• Pay increases which at least keep pace with the cost of living
• A national pay system to end unfair pay that sees staff doing the same job paid vastly different salaries
• No more privatisation and outsourcing without agreements to protect the workforce
• Adequate resources and decent working conditions
• No cuts to the civil service compensation scheme

So far hugely supported national one day strikes on 31 January and 1 May as well as various forms of action short of a strike and targeted action have proved to our employer how serious we are in campaigning to achieve our demands.

Members involved in the national dispute are now being balloted in a consultative ballot on whether we support the NEC's proposals for action aimed at resolving the dispute. The ballot opens on 28 September and closes on 22 October. If you’ve not received your ballot paper by 10 October call 020 7801 2850

HOWEVER YOU VOTE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU VOTE!!!!!
