With new faces being elected to both to government and to my union, PCS, 2024 has been a year of change – with new challenges ahead for 2025, writes LYNN HENDERSON

In my union PCS, we know from experience that women are the first line of defence during this ongoing period of attacks from the government and employers on our living standards, writes LYNN HENDERSON

PCS senior national officer LYNN HENDERSON explains why the union is growing and taking more industrial action despite the hostility of the current government to workers’ demands

With PCS members themselves facing poverty due to poor pay and the cost-of-living crisis, industrial action was inevitable — it’s time to link up our struggles, writes LYNN HENDERSON

Trade unionists must unite workplaces and communities in refusing to pay for the cost-of-living crisis — that means industrial militancy and building locally towards a mass demo this summer, writes LYNN HENDERSON

All too often under first past the post, it is women who are told to back down and step aside – it is time to rethink our voting systems and make them fairer, says LYNN HENDERSON of PCS

Presenteeism, the blurring of home and work, and domestic violence are emerging as increased challenges for our movement to address, requiring new union organising tools, says LYNN HENDERSON

Compromising safety by extending opening hours during a pandemic is an unacceptable slap in the face for the workers who have been providing welfare when it’s never been more essential, writes LYNN HENDERSON

PCS is calling for the STUC to facilitate a union-led ‘constitutional convention’ to represent the voices, views and vision of working people across Scotland for our future. LYNN HENDERSON explains

In the face of an Establishment power grab, LYNN HENDERSON introduces the Politics for the Many campaign to reform our undemocratic parliamentary system

We need system-wide answers to the current crisis of democracy in Britain, where the masses are ready to support a demagogue, writes LYNN HENDERSON

Through self-organisation, women learn from other women and identify for themselves the barriers to their full participation in our movement. LYNN HENDERSON spotlights her new scheme to encourage women to step forward and get involved
