Please Do Not Forget
Civil Service wide overtime ban throughout December 2011.
The purpose of this post is to thank members for supporting the strike action on the 30th November 2011 and to remind them to keep up the pressure by taking part in the Civil Service wide overtime ban throughout December where overtime is being worked.
PCS has done everything possible to negotiate a solution to the disputes over Pensions, the Civil Service Compensation Scheme and the Pay Freeze however to date there has not been an acceptable outcome from the Government.
We have already witnessed over two thousand job losses from the Fylde economy due to the job cuts in the area and even more are now in jeopardy and many members are facing being made redundant, we have seen our pay frozen (and unlike other areas of the Public Sector our Pay Progression isn’t separately funded meaning that we are treated even more unfairly than other public servants), our Pensions are under attack (we are being expected to pay more for our pensions, work longer and receive less) and our redundancy terms are being cut so that it is cheaper to get rid of us.
We are being asked to pay for the financial mess created by the bankers and the financial speculators and spivs, with our jobs, our pay, our pensions and our conditions of service. The financial mess was none of our making. It’s their financial mess make them pay for it.
It is time for members to show that they oppose the notion of being forced to pay for the excesses of the spivs.
Our reasonable demands are:
- No detrimental changes to our pensions and our redundancy payments
- Application and strengthening on the protocols to avoid redundancy
- An end to the pay freeze and a fair pay rise for all members
