Four days of action by members administering military personnel pay have been suspended.
Members working on the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency (SPVA) contract who were due to walk out tomorrow (Friday 14 June) have suspended their action after an offer of talks with ACAS by their private-sector employer CSC.
Our members in SPVA provide pay, pension and support services to both military personnel and the veterans community, directly serving about 900,000 members of the armed forces community. SPVA is currently situated over four main sites from Glasgow in the north to Gosport on the south coast.
The industrial action was supported by 92% of members and was over a dispute on pay and union recognition. Members are already taking action short of a strike consisting of an overtime ban and a ban on call-outs and working on standby.
A PCS spokesperson said: “Our members working on the contract really care about the service provided to the armed forces and the decision to take industrial action was not taken lightly.
“The government and MoD top brass have been incredibly complacent about the potential repercussions of a strike however and it was only with the service facing imminent meltdown that this offer has been made. PCS looks forward to entering into meaningful negotiations through ACAS to try to resolve this dispute.”
