Get ready for HeartUnions week

The week looks at what unions do, what they’ve achieved and what they’re working for. As the struggle goes on, it can be easy to forget the wins that unions have played a part in. That’s why it’s so important to unite around HeartUnions week.

Unions and their networks of workplace reps help working people every day. In all PCS workplaces we join together to make sure we are safe at work, to protect our jobs, to push for higher pay, and to access learning and training.

What you can do
So, how are you going to mark this in your workplace? How is your branch getting members involved and showing colleagues the importance of union strength? What do you particularly want to celebrate?

Here’s a request – can you do one of these things? A really brief note to say what branch you are in and what you feel proud of?

Do you have a story you feel strongly about? Something your rep or branch has done that you’re proud of? Or something that’s really helped you personally?

What plans have you got for HeartUnions week? How are you helping to make your union stronger? What are your best ideas for getting the message to non-member colleagues?

Just email editor@pcs.org.uk and we’ll share your feel-good story on social media during #HeartUnions week.

Join PCS 
The more people in the union at your workplace, the stronger it is. The stronger your union, the more likely we are to win better pay deals for everyone. PCS is campaigning for a decent pay rise for all.
