PCS has approximately 25,000 members working in our region, covering Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham, the Tees Valley and Cumbria.

Members are employed in a diverse range of government departments, such as Defra, Department for Work and Pensions and HMRC.

We represent staff working for the regional development agency ONE NorthEast, and the Public Lending Right.  We have also, recently, secured recognition and bargaining rights for staff in the Independent Safeguarding Authority, a new Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB) based in Darlington.

PCS plays a full part in the northern TUC and is represented at all component levels of its regional structure. We have a team of eight delegates to the annual conference, three to the regional committee and also two serving members of the executive committee.
