As we head into June, PCS has a number of great events coming up over the next fortnight, including becoming a union learning rep course and training for both new union reps and new union advocates.

PCS supports recommendations in a report by MPs that MoD should do more to ensure that contracted staff receive comparable employment contracts to staff directly employed by the MoD.

Industrial action works, and inspires others to stand up and say ‘enough is enough’, said the chair of the PCS parliamentary group as he delivered the group’s annual report to conference the day after delegates agreed to ballot over pay and pensions.

Stronger health and safety laws, more legal powers for reps and the right to digitally disconnect from work are needed to protect workers being forced back into the office after Covid. 

As Long Covid is likely to become a major issue in the future, PCS has agreed to pursue urgent talks with the Cabinet Office and the devolved administrations, to put in place protocols so people affected are treated fairly.
