Public and Commercial Services Union

PCS is the sixth largest trade union in the UK with around 270,000 members.

Our members are organised throughout the civil service and government agencies, making us the UK’s largest civil service trade union. We also organise widely in the private sector, usually in areas that have been privatised.

Running the country

Our members are essential to the day to day running of the country.

PCS is a democratic organisation run by our members, for our members. PCS members are actively involved in every decision we make, whether it’s in the workplace or internationally.

Campaigning

We aim to improve our working lives. We campaign for decent pay and conditions and for fair pensions for all.

PCS is independent from any political party which allows us to stand up for our members’ interests no matter what party is in government.

We have strong parliamentary groups in the European parliament, the Northern Ireland assembly, the Scottish parliament, the Welsh assembly and in Westminster.

We work together with other unions in the UK and Europe to campaign for better public services and a fair deal for public servants.

PCS takes pride in its support for equal rights for all in the workplace and beyond.

PCS members lead self organising groups that campaign for equality in the workplace and beyond.
