I am a shift worker. How can I support the strike?

This is how you can take strike action:

A. If you are due to work a shift which starts and finishes 10 May then you should take strike action for the whole of that shift.

B. If you are due to work a shift which begins on 9 May and ends on 10 May you should take strike action for the whole of that shift.

C. If you are due to work a shift which begins on 10 May and ends on 11 May, and you haven't already taken strike action (in line with A or B) you should take strike action for the whole of that shift.

It is very important that the strike action you take is in line with this advice, as this is what we have told the employer you will do in our statutory notices informing them about the industrial action.

If any aspect of this advice causes you problems or is unclear, please discuss it with your local PCS rep. If you or your rep have further questions, please contact PCS headquarters.

Shift workers that would like to support the strike but are not able to take strike action can get involved in other ways. There are suggestions in the campaign pack.
