PCS calls for the protection of its members working in visa and immigration offices

The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union has called for the protection of their members working in visa and immigration offices.

Responding to the weekend’s attacks by the far right, PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote and national president Martin Cavanagh said: “Visa and immigration offices are now the target of fascist thugs, threatening our members' safety and that of the community where the offices are located.

“We cannot stand by and allow this to happen. We are calling on employers, management and government ministers to act urgently to protect their staff, the communities they serve and the individuals who rely on their services.”
