NEC Elections 2008

PCS Democrats are again standing with Left Unity as part of the Democracy Alliance coalition.

PCS members need a strong, influential union capable of standing up to the employer in defence of their interests – that is why it is vital to re-elect the Democracy Alliance National Executive Committee (NEC). The current Democracy Alliance NEC has worked hard, negotiating from a position of strength, to defend members’ interests in the private sector, including:

DEFENDING HARD WON GAINS

Successfully campaigned to defend the Final Salary pension scheme in Siemens

Campaigned against the off-shoring of National Savings work by Siemens leading to an agreement widely recognised as the best secured by a UK trade union – and a guarantee that there will be no compulsory redundancies until 2014

Ran a campaign that saved more than 150 jobs at Capgemini

Successfully campaigned for the defence of civil service ‘reserved rights’

Used the threat of industrial action to force EDS management running the DWP contract to honour the pay progression they’d inherited from the DWP

Forced EDS in Glasgow to reinstate the Child Care Vouchers, a key term and condition for many staff

Successfully defended reps facing victimisation

EXTENDING OUR INFLUENCE - WINNING RIGHTS AND RECOGNITION FOR ALL WORKERS

Secured collective bargaining rights for all staff on the new Haden Office Services contract in DWP

Ran a successful organising campaign on the Capita Filestores contract which resulted in the branch being the fastest-growing in PCS.

Launched a campaign to win collective bargaining rights for all workers on the HMRC Aspire contract in Capgemini

Won a pay rise for agency staff working at EDS in Glasgow

Won the right for newer employees to join the PCS bargaining unit in Siemens – these workers immediately received an average pay increase of 15%, and will receive a further 9% this year

Currently developing a Works Council strategy so that we can use these harmful employer bodies to our advantage

At the forefront of building international links with sister trade unions in Capgemini, Siemens, EDS, Atos Origin and other companies

Undertaking a Commercial Sector Review to ensure PCS represents commercial sector members as effectively as possible
