Group hardship fund

It is an unfortunate fact but union members are at times forced to take strike action and other actions short of strike action. This is forced upon us either as we defend existing terms and conditions or as we campaign for improvements.

If strike action is taken some members may suffer hardship as a result. That is why we have set up a fund to help alleviate that hardship as best we can.

Making a contribution to the fund

The more money we collect the more we can do. Giving money to the hardship fund also allows members who are not invoved in any action to help out.

Making a contribution to the hardship fund is easy.

For one-off payments, send a cheque, made payable to: 'PCS DfT Hardship Fund' to the address below.
