PCS has confirmed it will be holding a strike ballot on 26 September, following a result from March’s consultative ballot that showed our voting membership was overwhelmingly in favour of strike action.
This ballot will run for 6 weeks until 7 November. Because it is postal-only, we are urging you to get ballot-ready by logging into PCS Digital and updating your personal details, ensuring your ballot gets sent to the right address; this way you can have your say and resist real terms pay cuts, job cuts, and the cost of living crisis.
We are voting to strike for:
- a 10% pay rise
- a Living Wage of at least £15 an hour so all of our members are paid enough to survive
- a 2% cut in contributions that our members have overpaid to their pensions since 2018
- no further cuts to redundancy terms
- a job security agreement
- resources provided so overstretched departments have all they need to deliver essential public services
We will be posting a lot over the next three months on our website and across social channels to tell members to update their details and get ballot ready. We’ll need all the help we can get to communicate this essential message, and we’re always looking for volunteers, advocates, and activists to assist us. If you want to help, we’d love to hear from you, so send us a message on our contact form.
