Public and Commercial Services Union

As part of the 'Make Your Vote Count' campaign, we are challenging  candidates in the local elections to support our four pledges. They are:

1. I pledge to support PCS campaigns against public service job cuts, to ensure quality public services are delivered to those in need and to support efforts to secure fairer funding for Wales.
2. I pledge to support the PCS campaign for fair pay and a living wage for workers and to oppose plans to introduce regional or local pay.
3. I pledge to protect quality public services and work alongside PCS, community organisations and other trade unions to ensure that no more public services are privatised, outsourced or mutualised.
4. I pledge to support the PCS campaign for fair pensions for all; including calling on the government to protect public sector pensions, ensure the state pension keeps in line with inflation, that the government addresses pensioner poverty and that companies are prevailed upon to ensure they fulfil their pension obligations to staff.

PCS members are encouraged to write to the candidates standing in their own area - details of who is standing where will be posted here soon.

We will also be organising at least one Candidate Question Time event in Wales - watch out for details.

PCS does not recommend any particular party or candidate but we oppose racist and far-right parties like the BNP, as part of our campaign against fascism.
