Anti-Prorogation Protest

With lots of people from across the political spectrum but including a good smattering of Leicester City Councillors, the City Mayor, the local MP, the local MEP. We are standing up for democracy & holding the government to account. 

LGBT Stall

There is an LGBT event in Wellington Street today. PCS have a presence. We have leaflets & are encouraging people to sign up for PCS Proud. We are also offering advice & signing people up for union learning on literacy & numeracy which includes a free Android tablet. Speak to a rep for details. 

Building a Just Social Security System

PCS have been given an opportunity to contribute our suggestions to improve the social security system that many of our members administer. We would, of course, take this opportunity pretty much whoever had asked for our input. In this case it is from the Labour Party.


If you wish to make a contribution please use a personal device or do it from home.


The link is here and the closing date is 30 June 2019.

Anti Trump Demonstration

PCS was well represented at the National Demonstration. I spoke for the Leicester & District Trades Union Council at the Leicester demonstration. We reject his misogyny, homophobia, islamophobia, etc. and we certainly reject a trade deal which involves selling unsafe foodstuffs and privatising the NHS. 

Universal Credit Dispute

Wallsall and Wolverhampton UC Service Centres are on strike for more staff and better conditions. We should support them as it will help us win more staffing and better conditions for all PCS members and it will also improve our service to UC claimants.
