PCS has taken a leading role within the trade union movement in voicing concerns about welfare policy, and in campaigning to defend the welfare state. PCS members take pride in the welfare state and they want a welfare state that provides a decent standard of living for the retired, the unemployed and for those unable to work, and that rewards them fairly as public servants.

Over the past 30 years the concept of welfare has been under attack. As government’s have stopped pursuing policies of full employment they have sought to pass the blame for unemployment to the individual.

PCS are therefore holding an open meeting to launch their “ Alternative vision for Welfare “ which looks at the past, present and future of welfare and hope it starts a new debate about the sort of welfare and society that we want.
