The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) is holding its annual postal election for president and national executive. The ballot closes on Thursday 12 May.
The current Democracy Alliance leadership, made up of Left Unity and PCS Democrats, has provided no opposition to government attacks on members’ safety, jobs, pay and conditions.
They are a failed leadership. They need to go.
Socialist Party members in PCS are standing in this election as part of the Broad Left Network (BLN) – a socialist rank-and-file group.
The BLN platform includes:
- Lay reps’ democratic control over all key decisions
- A national campaign leading to a statutory strike ballot, bringing together all the issues of concern to members including office closures, Covid safety, pay and conditions
- A strong political voice which supports ant-austerity candidates

The BLN slate includes Socialist Party member Marion Lloyd for president. The BLN increased its branch nominations this year – the only group to do so.
A change of leadership is needed. These are the candidates who will fight for members – in actions not just words.
