PCS Campaigns Update - January 2010


Civil Service Compensation Scheme - Campaign for a Yes Vote
Some progress has been made in recent compensation scheme talks but there is still a considerable distance between us and the employer. Branches are urged to campaign among their membership for a 'yes' vote in the industrial action ballot: www.pcs.org.uk/cscs

Save Our Welfare
Welfare services are under threat as management moves away from face-to-face provision of these services and towards automated telephone helplines. Please support our campaign and let your MP know that you believe civil and public servants need to be properly supported by personal welfare services in their workplace: www.pcs.org.uk/soweaction

PCS is recognising the vital role our communications play in helping members stay informed with our second annual awards for branch and group communications. See how you can enter the awards: www.pcs.org.uk/awards2010
