Re: Strike Action – 8th and 9th March 2010.

I am writing on behalf of Napo – South Yorkshire Branch to express our heartfelt support for PCS members as they take strike action on the 8th and 9th March.

The changes to the Civil Service Compensation Scheme which, if implemented, will have such a devastating impact on the entitlement to pay for staff going through voluntary or compulsory redundancy, are deplorable. Coming at a time when so many public sector workers are living with the threat of major cuts to services and job insecurity this action appears both cynical and opportunistic.

Napo – South Yorkshire Branch sends its very best wishes and fullest solidarity to PCS at this time. Our members in Probation and Cafcass in South Yorkshire have been advised of this action and have been given advice on how best to support your members in South Yorkshire who will be taking action.


Yours in solidarity,

 

Andy Ducker
Napo Convenor
South Yorkshire Branch
