Consultation Process
I have initiated a project to consult the union's membership about its interest in international issues, and to invest in developing the capacity of union members to be involved in future international work. The work is being funded with a grant from the Department for International Development's 'Development Learning Fund', managed by the TUC's European Union and International Relations Department.
Online Survey
A new international Project Officer, Gary Willis, has been recruited on a temporary contract to handle the development of the project. One of his first tasks has been to develop an online survey, which can be found here.
The online survey went live on 9 October and will be on the site for one month. I appreciate that now is an extremely busy time, but if you are able to make members aware of the existence of the survey, then they have the option of choosing to participate.
Printed Version
Members who prefer to complete a paper copy of the survey can contact Gary at: gary@pcs.org.uk or write to him:
Gary Willis, International Project Officer,
PCS, Deputy General Secretary's Office,
160 Falcon Road,
London SW11 2LN
He will arrange for a copy to be sent to the member, together with a pre-paid envelope.
Random Sample
A printed version of the survey will also be sent out to a random sample of 1,000 members from each of PCS' groups.
