Consultative ballot on the national campaign and pay

Conference agreed this week to consult members on our national campaign, including taking part in a campaign of coordinated strike action with other unions aimed at ending the public sector pay cap, and setting up a levy to fund targeted action in our areas.

To launch the campaign PCS is organising a "we all need a pay rise" day on 12th June 2014 to coincide with the opening of the ballot. We need a serious challenge to the government's pay policy.

Our members need a pay rise and winning this ballot, building support for strike action and the campaign is an urgent task for us all.
