PCS response to the King's Speech
PCS welcomes Labour's commitment to giving workers rights from their first day of employment, as set out in today's King's Speech and urges the government to liaise with unions urgently to ensure that workers across sectors are protected.
Responding to today’s King’s Speech, PCS General Secretary Fran Heathcote said: “After 14 years of anti-union rhetoric and attacks on workers across sectors, it is refreshing today to see a new government committed to implementing rights from day one.
“We would urge Labour to liaise with unions urgently to ensure that workers across sectors are protected. Our union stands ready to work with Labour in government to ensure civil servants, outsourced workers and related bodies are protected, empowered and respected.”
