Mark Serwotka sends message of support to striking workers in Scotland
19 August 2008
"Please convey my very best wishes, and those of our national executive committee, to all our members in Scotland who will be on strike on Wednesday.
"Please also convey our solidarity to those in the Scottish local government unions, who will also be on strike.
"The fact that these strikes are coinciding should make it clear to all public sector employers that their workforces should not be asked to shoulder the burden of inflation, by taking what amounts to a pay cut.
"Many public sector workers are already struggling to pay the bills. Asking them to pick up the tab for price rises, over which they have no influence, as well is a disgrace."
Mark Serwotka, PCS general secretary.
