Strike for the alternative

Jobs, pensions and pay

Don’t let them destroy our future

Their vision

• One in five jobs to be cut. Redundancy pay slashed
• Work to 68, pension changes meaning cuts of up to 50%
• Frozen pay as prices soar
• £80bn cuts and privatisation

Our vision

• No compulsory redundancies. Fair pay-offs for volunteers
• Pensions based on agreement made in 2005
• Pay to keep pace with inflation
• Investment in public services

Check pcs.org.uk for details of the action.

Together we can win

• Hundreds of thousands of PCS members and education staff are taking action together.
• For the first time a wider group of unions are co-ordinating their resistance, with firefighters, head teachers and health workers preparing to join future action.
• The government has already watered down its attacks on forests, coastguards and the health service because of public pressure.

There is an alternative to cuts

• £120 billion of tax is evaded, avoided and uncollected each year
• Revenue and Customs should employ more tax compliance officers – each one collects £658,000 annually
• Invest in projects like housing, renewable energy and public transport to boost the economy
• End the use of consultants.

It’s time to take a stand outside offices, schools, museums and other government buildings to defend public servants and public services from the attacks of the government and the media.

Let’s make sure everyone joins the union and joins in.
