International
PCS is proud to campaign for human rights and against inequality and injustice around the world.
What happens in the rest of the world can have a direct impact on us all; the war in Ukraine is a prime example. Climate change does not respect international borders and also, human rights are for all, and should not depend on what country you live in.
The trade union movement is international. Struggles in the rest of the world are not foreign or too far away from us to care. PCS has built up relationships with sister trade unions around the globe and through European and global trade union federations, to promote and protect our members' interests and concerns. We work collaboratively with a range of civil society organisations through affiliations and other trade unions on leading campaigns.
The union's broader international solidarity – in line with conference policy - embraces support for and in defence of trade union, labour and more general human rights across a number of countries and regions, including Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa and Southern Africa.
This work is overseen by the international committee, a sub-committee of the national executive committee. The committee meets once a month to discuss how we can work with the affiliated campaigns and with other unions in Europe, as well as looking at specific or topical international issues.
