Public and Commercial Services Union

A national campaign?

If the proposed privatisation is likely to have a wider resonance beyond the bargaining unit itself - i.e. the service to be privatised has a high national profile and the implications of its privatisation may be of interest to the wider public, the media, MPs etc - then a national campaign to publicise, criticise and reverse the proposal should be considered (e.g  PCS's succesful campaign to make the government reconsider plans to privatise the Forensic Science Service).

PCS officials should contact the Campaigns and Communications Unit and the  Protect Public Services Unit to discuss a possible campaign, which might consist of nationally produced campaigning material, briefing for M.Ps, the use of Parliamentary Questions, meetings with Ministers, press notices, national rallies etc.
