PCS A to Z: Getting involved in your union
In the A to Z of benefits of joining the union, G is for getting involved and helping to improve your workplace conditions for you and your colleagues.
When you join PCS you are joining a collective in your workplace which works for improvements for all members. Working together members can campaign on issues which directly affect them and secure positive changes far more effectively than individual non-union members.
We encourage our members to get more active in the union to build our strength and make sure we represent our diverse range of members.
To get more involved in PCS you can become a PCS Advocate. These are members who actively support the union and help build its strength where they work by helping workplace reps with various tasks such as leafleting or arranging events. Training is provided.
Many of our advocates and reps say that these roles help them develop other skills such as confidence, communications and organisation and time management.
If you’d like more information, speak to your local rep or email organising@pcs.org.uk.
