On 10 July we took successful joint action with union members in local government, education and the fire service over pay.
Stepping up the campaign
Now we are stepping up the campaign with our latest day of our action, including lobbying MPs in their constituencies, followed by marches and rallies on 18 October.
Strike action is a last resort but the government imposed a 2-year pay freeze in 2010 and in recent years has capped pay for all public sector workers at 1%. Since 2010 prices have risen by 16%.
We have submitted a national pay claim asking for 5% or £1,200 for all civil service and related staff. We are demanding a fair settlement.
Action gets results
PCS negotiates strongly with the government and employers, but we are ready to take action should they refuse.
Industrial action has got results for PCS members in recent weeks:
