Hundreds show solidarity with sacked PCS reps
The 3 victimised reps sacked by HMRC for their trade union activity at Benton Park View in Newcastle were joined in a protest outside the office gates by reps and members.
Hundreds of leaflets highlighting the PCS campaign to win back their jobs were handed out to members and hundreds of signatures gathered for the petition aimed at winning back their jobs and ending the victimisation of reps working on the site.
The branch reps were joined by neighbouring PCS DWP Tyneside and Northumbria branch activists along with members of the Newcastle Unite Union Community branch, standing in solidarity with the victimised reps.
PCS is clear we will not stand by and allow reps to be victimised by their employer and leave members without the protection of a strong union presence in their workplace.
The branch is planning regular leafleting sessions at the site in the coming weeks to highlight the campaign and will be back next Wednesday (7 August) from 6:45am to continue the fight on behalf of the victimised reps.
A meeting for all members of the branch will be held at 6pm on 13 August. Members can sign up and get access to the Zoom link by filling in an online form.
All PCS members and supporters of the campaign are encouraged to use the e-action to demand that MPs pressure HMRC on the reinstatement of these reps.
