Every year, members of the Independent Left elect candidates at our Annual General Meeting to contest PCS’s national and group elections.
Members are in the middle of the largest dispute we’ve seen for over a decade. But in order to win we need a joined-up strategy of escalation of national action alongside creative, sustained and most importantly, disruptive targeted action. As the stakes are so high The Independent Left and The Broad Left Network are standing a joint list of candidates to fight for this in the year ahead. Please nominate these candidates at your branch’s Annual General Meeting.
These Candidates will…
- Support the strikes.
- Develop a serious escalating programme of all-member action, targeted and selective action,
including action short of strikes against the Tory cost of living squeeze and the anti-union laws. - Make PCS take the lead in calling for mass co-ordinated action.
- Strengthen lay democracy, including extending of election of Full-time Officers, bringing their pay more in line with the members they represent.
