Defend public sector pensions
PCS members along with other members in the public sector are being asked to pay more for their pension, work longer and get less.
PCS members recently overwhelmingly rejected the government's pensions proposals in a consultative ballot.
In order to put pressure on the government to positively engage and enter into genuine negotiations with unions we want all members to take part in co-ordinated political lobbying.
Save our coastguard stations and jobs
The government plan to close nine coastguard stations across the UK, leaving a reduced service that will put people’s lives at risk.
Please help fight these plans to close the stations by emailing your local MP and asking them to sign early day motion 2848 and support the campaign.
Protect the Forestry Commission
More than a year after the government announced its U-turn on selling off the public forest estate, there is still no clarity over either the future of the public forest estate or guarantee of protection of jobs for the workers employed in the Forestry Commission.
Please email your MP and ask them to sign EDM 2925 which calls for the forestry Commission to remain in public ownership and also for it to be adequately resourced to be able to remunerate its employees and to continue to deliver a service up to the level of public expectation.
International Workers’ Memorial Day
For International Workers’ Memorial Day 2012, PCS is campaigning about the devastating cuts to the Health and Safety Executive.
Please email your MP today and urge them to take action.
Save jobs in Carlisle
Carlisle is set to lose over 500 civil service jobs over the next 2 years, which will have a damaging impact on the economy and employment prospects for the town.
These cuts will do nothing to help Carlisle recover from the economic downturn. Good quality public sector jobs are essential if the economy is to recover, and Carlisle cannot afford to lose these important employers.
Please email your MP asking them to support our campaign to save jobs in Carlisle.
Stop the closure of the London Hazards centre
The London Hazards Centre (LHC) provides an indispensible service to the trade union movement, and the wider community. Put quite simply it helps keep people alive and free of injury at work.
The LHC is under threat from a potential cut to its funding that could see it close.
Please take a moment to email your local MP urging them to lobby their local council/s to press them to continue funding LHC.
Lobby your MP about criminal fine enforcement privatisation
The enforcement of criminal fine enforcement is under threat of privatisation.
PCS are organising a lobby of parliament on Wednesday 16 May. This is your opportunity, as a PCS member, to tell your MP in person why this service needs to remain in the public sector.
Please send an email to invite your MP to meet with you at the lobby.
Save the Equality and Human Rights Commission
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is threatened with massive cuts of up to 55 per cent to its budget.
Please join our campaign to save the EHRC by emailing your MP to ask them to maintain current funding to the EHRC and help protect society from inequality in these difficult times.
Save messenger service jobs at Jobcentres
PCS have launched a campaign to save messenger service jobs at Jobcentres.
Balfour Beatty, who employ the messengers, have been instructed by the Department for Work and Pensions to make savings on its contract. They are seeking to do so by cutting about 250 office service assistants (OSAs) at jobcentre plus offices across the UK. PCS members are arguing that this is a false economy as it will only result in staff who currently deliver vital services in jobcentres becoming their customers.
Please write to your MP and ask them to support our campaign to save messenger jobs.
Stop the DVLA office network closures
The government has outlined plans to close down 39 offices of The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The DVLA plays a vital role in supporting law enforcement by maintaining an up to date register of drivers and vehicles.
The plans to close these offices will result in 1200 jobs being lost. Please take a moment to email your local MP asking them to sign EDM 2736 which calls for the government to reconsider the proposed closures.
