The DWP have contacted PCS to open formal negotiations and consult the union about the possibility of ending check off.
Until now our concern about the threat of the withdrawal of check off has been based on the government’s continuing attack on PCS and cabinet office pressure on departments to end check off. However, the opening of formal negotiations by the DWP now makes the threat much greater.
Make it your priority
Those members who have so far taken the view that they will not make the switch to direct debit a priority until the DWP say they are ending check off must now give their full support to the make the switch to DD campaign.
Failure to have direct debit details set up should check off end will result in your membership of the union lapsing and the union will not be a position to help should you need it.
Now more than ever in recent times staff are facing treats from management.
Contact Centre staff are being threatened with PIP's following customer claimplaints of rudeness, only for it to come to light when challenged the claimplaints not been fully investigated and staff have done no wrong.
Staff in jobcentres are being threatened with PIP's for not meeting sanctions targets that apparently don't exist.
NOW is the time to complete your direct debit details if you've not done already. Speak to a rep for a form, call PCS directly or complete the action online. Your details will be held securely.
