PCS responds to the Chancellor's "iron fist" comments

Union says Rachel Reeves should listen "to the grafters not the grifters"

Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “The civil service doesn’t need an iron fist. It needs someone who understands how it works.
 
“The Chancellor says she will listen to bankers, thinktanks and the private sector but she won’t listen to us or our members – the very people who have the specialist knowledge vital to keep public services running.
 
“If she wants to reform the civil service for the better, she should listen to the grafters, not the grifters. She should be working with us, not against us.”
