Last chance to vote in PCS ballots

Our ballot and elections both close in the next week, and both are postal votes only. If you’ve already voted, thank you for taking part. If you haven’t, please make sure you post your ballot paper now.

National strike ballot – vote yes

Our ballot for strike action over our national campaign demands closes at noon on Monday 13 May.

Last year’s strike action forced the UK government to listen and significantly increase its pay offer as well as giving a one-off cost-of-living payment. This shows what we can achieve when we stand together.

At least 50% of our members need to take part in the ballot in order to give us the option to take strike action The more members who vote the clearer it will be to the UK government how strongly you feel about your right to fair pay, pensions and terms and conditions.

A high turn out in our ballot will also show the government that we are determined to stand together to fight its plans to cut 70,000 civil service jobs to fund an increase in defence spending. Job security is one of PCS’s key campaign aims.

NEC elections – choose who represents you

Our ballot to elect members of our national executive committee closes at noon on Thursday 9 May.

The ballot is your opportunity to choose who runs the union and represents you on our national executive committee. The NEC makes the day to day decisions on how the union is run and what direction we take in our campaigns.

Please read the candidates’ election addresses before making your choice.
