Over 100,000 PCS members voted for strike action to force the government to pay us our 10% wage claim, stop job cuts, attacks on redundancy and get pensions justice.
- As things stand a 2-3% pay increase is the limit imposed by the Tories. This makes no sense with inflation at way over 10%, energy prices going through the roof and increased interest rates pushing up mortgage costs.
- We are not alone. Across the public service and the private sector too, union members are demanding cost of living pay increases. Many of these unions are also calling strike action on 1st February including teachers in the NEU, train drivers in ASLEF and RMT and university workers in UCU. As well as the TUC calling a National Day of Protest on the same day to defend our right to strike
- So, we have a choice. Do nothing and get nothing. Or make a stand now for decent wages and protection of jobs, offices and services. We have nothing to lose and much to gain.
- Support 1st February strike. Let’s make it a day the Tories will not forget. Let’s make 1st February a stepping stone to a major escalation of our action on pay and jobs – of further national action supported by targeted strikes
- We can win – make the fat cat, tax avoiding Tory Government pay up. ALL OUT on 1st February
