Enable Government/Cabinet Office/Treasury to continue with a divide <br />and rule policy.<br />2. Provide an avenue for promotion for those "little" union officials who <br />have towed the line that otherwise would have been denied for them.<br />Conclusion if staff wish an improvement in conditions within HMRC they <br />need just one trade union with "clout" to represent them otherwise they <br />should keep their money in their pockets and forget trade union <br />membership.<br />Retired Civil Servant.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-59274277310805057072015-05-24T06:43:45.069+01:002015-05-24T06:43:45.069+01:00Division is the last thing we want in the HMRC uni...Division is the last thing we want in the HMRC unions at the moment. Claiming that the new union has senior management backing is not only dubious but irrelevant. It doesn't matter what senior management thinks; the shots are being called from a much higher level. Support the PCS and ARC, and if you don't like what they are doing, get involved.

This could only have happened with the support and connivance of management, because any PCS officials putting out anything beyond the most minimal information are immediately threatened with disciplinary action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-40049337520940718562015-05-12T22:37:02.594+01:002015-05-12T22:37:02.594+01:00This is the only way the extreme left can deal wit...This is the only way the extreme left can deal with a democratic choice. They just hurl insults at anything they do not agree with. The PCS wrecked the Council of Civil Service Unions and are now due to mismanagement within PCS in dire financial straits. Hence the sell off of the PCS HQ building and the suspension of elections. How can this union claim to represent members when they cancel elections without consulting the membership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-26700861168769352492015-05-12T21:28:01.759+01:002015-05-12T21:28:01.759+01:00ReCTUm as most of us call it!ReCTUm as most of us call it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-67442400930821335962015-05-12T16:41:28.329+01:002015-05-12T16:41:28.329+01:00The Unions have all been incapacitated now:
