Pat McFadden statement regarding the planned PCS strike action

Cabinet Office Minister Pat McFadden said:

“There is no need for strike action. The government values the civil service highly. If PCS members have concerns about job losses or pay there is an established industrial relations process to discuss these issues.

“The PCS are the only civil service union to have balloted for strike action. We will do everything we can to avoid compulsory redundancies but cannot give guarantees it will never happen throughout the efficiency savings (Gershon) process.”
