Why your voice counts in this ballot
Lee, a DWP rep in Birmingham, writes about the importance of voting in the DWP ballot and reminds members who haven't received a ballot paper to request a replacement by 6 February.
I voted yes in the DWP strike ballot because our pay has been falling behind for years while the cost of living keeps rising.
We’re delivering essential services under huge pressure, yet our pay has been eroded year after year.
Standing together in this ballot is the only way to push for meaningful change. When we act collectively, we can finally be heard.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been out leafleting, talking to colleagues, and showing how solidarity makes a real difference.
By recruiting new members and highlighting why fair treatment matters, I’m helping build a stronger workplace where all of us stand together.
We need to smash the 50% turnout so our pay campaign has real power. If you need a replacement ballot, request it now.
If you’ve never received your ballot paper, or accidentally misplaced or damaged it, make sure you request a replacement through PCS Digital by 6 February, as every vote is crucial to the campaign. We need everyone’s voice counted.
A strong yes vote is how we stand together and demand the fair deal we’ve been denied.
