Your National Executive Committee (NEC) met today to review progress in discussions with the Cabinet Office on the civil service compensation scheme.
While they recognised there had been some movement they felt it still did not go far enough in protecting a significant proportion of PCS members’ existing rights and produce the best possible redundancy protection and compensation for all members, now and in the future.
The NEC confirmed that in the absence of an acceptable offer they would proceed with the ballot, due to begin on 4 February. Additionally, PCS will commence legal proceedings to confirm members’ rights under the civil service compensation scheme.
The NEC stressed that it will continue to seek negotiations with ministers and senior government officials to find an acceptable settlement and urged all members to vote “Yes” in the ballot.
