It's Time to Write to Your MP about National Pay

Dear Colleagues,

We are asking that all members write to their MP as part of the campaign to restore Civil Service Pay bargaining and a Civil Service Pay structure.

You may have seen the materials issued recently about the campaign and the recent desk drop regarding campaigning action. The Branch has also met with MPs locally and have raised the need to restore Civil Service Pay bargaining/ structures and the need for a fair resolution to the DWP Pay issues. We can hopefully use one to resolve the other. We now need members to raise the issues with their MPs in order that they can use their influence to bring about a fair settlement.

It is important that members write to their MPs in order that they will hopefully realise the depth of the feelings. It can make a difference.

Overleaf is a model letter on the subject to send to your MP. The letter is also available electronically. If you want an electronic copy then please contact your Branch Office, or download the MS word file here.

We believe it is vital that all members support the campaign and get actively involved.

Remember!
The Pay rise that has been imposed by the employer in the DWP for 2008 is zero per cent, and for 2009 is one per cent. Can you afford to watch the value your pay be eaten away by inflation, by ten per cent over three years (2007/8/9).

Watch out for more information from PCS Campaign on National Pay in the near future!
