Young Members: Make a difference in PCS

If you are a young member and want to know how you can contribute toward the union’s democracy, there is a new short course consisting of two 2-hour sessions, aimed at young members interested in getting more involved in your branch annual general meeting (AGM). It will be held from 4-6pm on Thursday 7 and Monday 11 December. 

The course will explain the annual general meeting processes and build your confidence to write and present 'motions' at your branch's AGM.  Find out how AGMs lead toward PCS group and national conference each year and help formulate national PCS policies for the benefit of all members.

PCS national young members' committee vice chair Louis Radforth says: “Unions in Britain are the largest democratic institutions in the entire country and your union, PCS, is no different. Democracy, however, requires participation and to ensure that your ideas - to improve our work, our collective strength as workers and our wider communities - are at the forefront of PCS strategy, you must step up and be willing to engage in our own internal democracy. Educate yourself on how to do so by attending AGM training sessions being run in December”.
