On Monday 1 February, #HMRC published its Pay and Contract Reform offer to staff. The #PCS Group Executive Committee is recommending members accept the deal. The PCS Independent Left thinks this is a mistake and urges members to reject it. pcsindependentleft.com/2021/02/05/hmr…

If anyone one is or knows of any professional female football coaches who may be willing to take part in an interview to help me with my research into the underrepresentation of female coaches, please send me a DM For more information, I would also be grateful for RT’s🙌🏻⚽️

We've had a great response to our petition for fair #pay for UK government workers so far - nearly 9,000 signatures in just over two days. But please continue to sign and share it. This link will take you straight to it: pcs.org.uk/fairpay

#PCS member in DWP? Please consider nominating IL and independent GEC candidates at your AGM. We're the only grouping who opposed the Employee Deal and any sell off of T&Cs, called for Group-coordinated opposition to office closures, and argued for rank and file control.

I am now officially on the ballot paper for General Secretary! Thanks to all branches who made nominations. The next task will be winning the vote itself. If you want to help get the vote out in your workplace or branch, then sign up now! bev4gs.com/get-involved

Winning the #PCS General Secretary election, just like any campaign, will come down to face to face activity in the workplace. Want to help elect me and advance my programme? Then please volunteer: bev4gs.com/get-involved/

My manifesto outlines in detail how I want to transform our union if elected as your General Secretary. I hope that this will allow for an informed debate in branches and amongst members throughout the election process. bev4gs.com/manifesto/

My platform: • A workers’ representative on a worker’s wage • Elected full time officials and transparent structures • Rebuilding PCS into a serious fighting force • Equality at the ❤ of organising and bargaining • A union that punches above its weight in politics #Bev4GS

We need all PCS branches to plan meetings to discuss and decide their response to our consultation on our general election 🗳 strategy. pcs.org.uk/branconsult
