PCS members working for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) will take four and a half days of strike action this month (see notes below) after senior management failed to provide assurances that staff will be protected from compulsory redundancies as part of a major restructuring programme.
Today, Capita has officially missed the government's 30 June deadline to deliver the full terms of its £239 million Civil Service Pensions contract.
PCS has condemned the Department for Work and Pensions' announcement that it will close nine Service and Support Centres (SSCs) across Britain by September 2027, putting thousands of civil servants at risk of redundancy or forced relocation.
PCS members in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action in response to the department's controversial FCDO2030 restructuring programme.
PCS has welcomed the decision to insource facilities management contracts managed by the Government Property Agency, bringing around 2,000 workers back into the Civil Service.
