There are a number of ways PCS members and supporters can show solidarity with P&O workers who were disgracefully sacked by the company last week, including sending solidarity messages, signing a petition and joining a demonstration.

As many PCS members are facing a quadruple costs crisis of cuts in pay, pensions and Universal Credit combined with the soaring cost of living, we want you tell us and your MP how you are being affected.

“A catastrophic effect on the most vulnerable families in our society,” is how PCS General Secretary Mark Serwotka has described the Universal Credit cut, which takes effect today, in a letter to secretary of state Therese Coffey.

The decision to end the Universal Credit uplift will impoverish millions of unemployed and low paid workers, PCS has said.

“I feel like I’m barely keeping my head afloat” – a PCS DWP member describes her fear for the future as she faces the £20 a week cut to Universal Credit which hits millions of people today.
