Welfare Week 29 April- 5 May:

PCS is spearheading a united campaign against welfare cuts alongside other trade unions and charities. 

PCS will have a week of activities around welfare. It will start with a protest in Ashton-under-Lyne Town Hall (near the Jobcentre Pathfinder) from 12.30pm on 29 April. This Pathfinder is the first trial of Universal Credit (UC).
