CSCS Ballot Result

CSCS Ballot Result

· Members vote 'yes' for action
· All out on 8 & 9 March

The ballot result sends a clear message to the employer that PCS members will not accept cuts in their accrued rights to fair redundancy compensation at a time when all the main political parties are planning deep public spending cuts.

The national executive (NEC) would like to thank all reps and members for their work in delivering a successful ballot result.

It was agreed to write to the minister for the civil service, making clear our aim of reaching a negotiated settlement and calling on the government to return to talks.

The NEC agreed that notice will be given of a two day national strike – on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 March – and a national overtime ban. Please check the PCS website – www.pcs.org.uk – for further information.
