PCS members unanimously back motion against government's ‘draconian’ attacks on working-class power
PCS members at their conference

THE Tory government’s “scary and draconian” attacks on working-class power and the right to strike were slammed by civil servants today.

Delegates meeting in Brighton for the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union’s 2023 conference unanimously backed a series of motions which demanded an end to “hostile legislation which is shackling trade unions.”

The damning intervention came just days after Tory MPs rejected House of Lords amendments to the widely condemned Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill, paving the way for the legislation to soon become law.
