Government faces paying millions over ‘naked attempt’ to bankrupt PCS after union's Supreme Court victory
The Supreme Court building, Parliament Square, London
THE Con-Dem coalition government’s “naked attempt” to bankrupt the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union was today rejected unanimously in a Supreme Court ruling.
The stunning victory paves the way for the union to sue the Home Office, Department for Food and Rural Affairs and HM Revenue & Customs for millions of pounds of compensation and costs.
This is on top of the £3 million already settled out of court by the Department for Work and Pensions.
