Public and Commercial Services Union

Despite the recession, low and unequal pay is still a major concern for our members both in the public and private sectors.

With inflation in minus figures and a gender pay gap in the civil service of 14 per cent, we simply can not afford to sit back and do nothing. We still need to fight for decent pay increases.

We aim to equip our negotiators with all the relevant facts and resources – including trends in pay rates, inflation and the law – to get the best deal possible for members.

These pages and the link to the Labour Research Department Payline database should help bargainers to ensure the best possible outcome.
