Join PCS to vote
Join by 21 April to be included in our ballot for strike action over our national campaign demands.
In 2023, the action taken by thousands of PCS members forced the government to more than double its initial pay offer and pay a cost-of-living payment of £1,500.
We have issued our demands to 171 employers for 2024/2025 and are balloting members in those departments to ask if they are willing to take strike action again. Members in the Scottish Sector are not included as they ae covered by a separate two-year pay deal.
Our postal ballot for strike action opened on 18 March and closes on 13 May. Check our list to see if your employer is included in the ballot.
A strong return in the ballot will increase pressure on the government to make a suitable offer by showing that PCS members are prepared to take action. The more members we have, and the more members who vote, the greater that pressure is, and the greater the impact of any strike action.
It’s not too late to join PCS and have your say.
New members
New members in the employer areas covered by the ballot who join before noon on Sunday 21 April will be included in the ballot automatically. You should allow up to 12 working days from the date of joining before receiving a ballot paper, because of the way the ballot is being organised by the independent scrutineers.
Find out more about the ballot on our FAQs web page.
