The successful strategy of industrial action by PCS last year put some real pressure on a weakened government but we need to keep up the momentum to fight for our members.

Trade unions like PCS are the first line of defence for workers and their families. We must continue to build on our successful campaigns and legal actions to offer members much needed hope.

My priorities.

Activism – PCS membership has been mobilised by the successful ballot for industrial action. Attending picket lines and posting about them on social media raises the profile of PCS nationally and locally.

Member Engagement and Communications – I am proud of PCS’ ethos of a member-led union. During the past year, I have actively promoted PCS on social media and have been an active member of the editorial board for PCS People.

Pay and Conditions – PCS must continue to utilise the strength of our membership to improve our working lives.

Diversity – Respect and build the Diversity and the Equality of our union. Learning from our experiences with last year’s hybrid conference,  we must continue our work  to open up the Conference to all members who wish to participate.

Learning – Help Reps by promoting union learning and development.

About Me.

I have been active at all levels of PCS since 2007, and a PCS Rep in the Culture, Home Office and MOJ Groups. I have completed a TUC Diploma in Employment Law  and I am an NEC Member.
