After 2 years of devoted service and hard work to keep our country afloat during the pandemic, Civil Servants have been thanked with the scandalous news that they will be subject to 90,000 job cuts.
This is unacceptable. And it doesn’t end with the Civil Service: living standards are plummeting while costs are soaring, wages are stagnating across the board, and workers’ rights across the UK are under threat—just take a look at what they did to workers at P&O.
On 18 June, workers are uniting in London to deliver a clear message to this government: we demand better. This is a march and rally, organised by the Trades Union Congress, telling our government we need:
- Real pay rises and a real living wage
- A ban on dodgy working practices like zero hour contracts and fire and rehire
- Taxes on the billionaires and energy companies, whose wealth and profits grew during the pandemic while we suffered
- An end to racism and discrimination at work
- An end to the government’s agenda to destroy workers’ rights and unions
Activists and reps from PCS Leeds will be travelling to London on 18 June to let our voices be heard. We ask our members to join us.
Transport will be arranged by PCS so members can attend without cost on the day, so if you are a member and want to attend, please get in touch with one of our reps, who will keep you informed. We cannot talk about this using R&C systems, so please be mindful of this.
