Vote Marion Lloyd for general secretary and John Moloney for AGS

Marion Lloyd, Broad Left Network candidate for PCS general secretary

I’m standing for election as the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) general secretary, because our union needs a democratic, fighting, socialist leadership. I’m also supporting John Moloney in his bid to be re-elected as PCS assistant general secretary (AGS).

We are the candidates for change. Hopefully, by now, many of you will have already voted for us.  The election closes on Thursday 14 December at midday. To ensure that your vote is counted, then please make sure that you complete the ballot paper and send it back by Monday 11 December.

I’d like to thank everyone for the tremendous amount of support. But there is still time to not only send in your ballot paper but talk to others. Encourage your teammates to do likewise.

A vote for us will put our union in the strongest position to defend our pay, improve our jobs, and to ensure that we are all properly represented over the weeks and months to come.

If elected, we pledge:

  • To remain on our civil service wages, and to donate the rest of the general secretary/AGS wage (approx. £80,000) to union campaigns
  • To reinvigorate the union’s faltering national campaign on pay, pensions, redundancy rights and jobs. We can win!
  • To fight hard for privatised workers, to win on pay, terms and conditions, and to bring these workers back into the civil service
  • To rebuild PCS by backing our branches to recruit new reps and members, putting money and staff support into branches
