The purpose of this post is to inform members of the outcome of the National ballot on the Pay freeze, Civil Service Compensation Scheme, Pensions changes and the campaign to defend members’ jobs, and pay in the Civil Service (including the DWP/ CSA on the Fylde).The ballot closed on 15th June 2011 and the results were as follows:
Question 1 – Are you prepared to take part in Strike Action
Number of members voting: YES = 61% NO = 39%
Question 2 – Are you prepared to take part in Industrial Action Short of a Strike
Number of members voting: YES = 84% NO = 16%
It is important that members write to their MPs so that they will (hopefully) realise the depth of feeling of the membership. It can make a difference. We have previous circulated model letters on the issues to send to your MP.

The Branch website will be updated with information during the next stages of the campaign.
We believe it is vital that all members support the campaign and get actively involved.
