“Thank you to all those who campaigned and voted for the candidates standing for change in the PCS National Elections. The result demonstrates the desire for change, the desire for a serious fight on the issues that matter most to our members right across our union. This is reflected right across the results including those standing for change who have been elected but also those who so narrowly missed out. This team of serious fighters now have a majority on our NEC.
We have had a tremendous campaign, and members have voted for the industrial and political programme that is needed to win for our members, as we near the end of this brutal Tory Government and prepare for Starmer’s Blairite New Labour. This is a vote to change the direction of our union – to return to the fighting culture and history that must be recaptured in PCS. I am proud to have stood to be your National President and I’m delighted to be elected back on to the NEC.
We will continue to represent members and fight for their rights and interests. Our election material headlined with the need for members to vote yes in the industrial action vote and we hope that when those ballot results are announced next Tuesday, they give a mandate for action. We will then argue in our union’s conference in 10 days’ time for the militant strike strategy that can win. Please get your votes in for our candidates in the group elections and join the Broad Left Network.” #ActionNotWords
