PCS payday protests on 31 March were strongly supported across the country with thousands of members sending a clear message to the government. Members held photoshoots with PCS “break the 1% pay cap” placards at their workplaces and at protests to support the PCS demand for a rise of 5% or £1,200. The Socialist Party joined the protests including in London (above).
