PCS is the largest non industrial union in the Ministry of Defence, with approximately 20,000 members who work at every MoD establishment throughout the country and abroad. We are the fastest growing union in the MoD and throughout the Civil Service.
Our priority is to improve the quality of working life for all of our members.
We do this by representing members on a range of issues every day of the year and through bargaining and campaigning hard to improve pay, terms and conditions.
We also aim to ensure that every member of our union is treated with dignity and respect at work.
We negotiate with the employer on every issue that affects our members in the Ministry of Defence.
There is a PCS MoD group executive committee (GEC) which is elected each year by all members.
Below the GEC there are MoD regional committees and branch executive committees (BECs) also elected by you.
All of these individuals are civil servants who volunteer to help fellow members. We always need more volunteers so why not join us? Even if you can only spare an hour every now and then to distribute information to fellow members your active support and involvement can make a huge difference.
There are numerous PCS full time officers dedicated to the MoD based in London.
Our bargaining agenda priorities for 2008-2009 include:
Chris Dando, the MoD group president is vitally aware of the part MoD members have to play in our campaigning:
"The victories we have had on scrapping the bonus scheme and saving the 500 jobs at Sapphire House in Telford has in my opinion only been possible because of the membership involvement in our campaigns and more importantly members believing that they were entitled to fight to get rid of a divisive bonus scheme and right fight to save their jobs and community.
"We are now facing potentially difficult pay negotiations and have further job cutting and privatisation programmes to face which will need all our members to stand together and fight in a united manner"
