The following has been supplied by PCS HQ:
Last week PCS members in Bootle supported the first day
in a 6-day strike against privatisation of MoJ shared services.
The action, which includes 118 members and runs until 31
July, is part of our ongoing campaign to protect jobs and prevent offshoring in
shared services, covering areas such as finance, IT or HR. There is also a
1-day strike by MOJ shared services members in Newport on 31 July and the
national overtime ban, which runs until 31 July, will be extended for these
members until 31 August.
If you work in the Ministry of Justice, NOMS or the Home
Office, this privatisation would mean your personal data being sold-off to
Steria and potentially offshored.
Send a message to Chris Grayling telling him not to
sell-off your personal data.
If you don't work in the above areas but would like to
show support you are encouraged to do the following:
- Sign the petition against privatisation
- Send messages of support to solidarity@pcs.org.uk
- Contribute to the PCS strike fund.
