Union Membership

Due to the continual movement of Staff between various sites and/or between rooms your details held by Membership records may require updating.

Members may wish to visit the PCS HQ site here (you will require your Membership No) or contact Membership records on 020 7801 2601 in order to confirm your current details.
Please check your Ballot Address details and check that you are in the correct Branch (Code 047139).Complete and return the tear off section of this form if details require amendment.

The Branch offices continue to receive requests from potential members to join the union and to have their personal cases immediately taken up effectively backdating membership cover from 1st January 2004 we have followed Public and Commercial Services Union National policy and no longer backdating cover in any circumstances. Unfortunately this is not always fully understood, as there is a periodic trickle of non-members wanting advice/guidance or backdated representation.

The Branch has a high success rate in dealing with personal cases and supports members by a range of methods including providing assistance with Grievances and representation at hearings. In 2008 we were successful with scores and scores of personal cases including support and direction/ representation in the meetings.

We also have a high success rate with other types of personal cases such as Harassment and Bullying cases and representation at Attendance Management meetings including drafting appeals and appropriate representation at various Grievance/Appeal meetings.

Whatever the reason is for non-members wanting advice/ guidance or backdated representation, we believe that a reminder is needed. You can print off a membership form here.

Remember:

NO MEMBERSHIP = NO BACKDATED REPRESENTATION OR ADVICE
