The campaign to prevent jobs cuts on the cheap has received strong support from PCS members across Northamptonshire. With picket lines outside Jobcentres, tax offices and courts we have highlighted the campaign against changes in our compensation scheme. There have been articles in the Chronicle and Echo and the Evening Telegraph, which has raised the profile locally of the campaign. There were also items on the local and national news. Lewis Bevan from HMRC branch was interviewed on the picket line in Kettering by Radio Northamptonshire and one local member was involved in the Victoria Derbyshire debate on Radio Five Live.
Reps and activists despute the claims by managers that most members still went into work. Several branches reported an increase in new members and even new reps. Members who had crossed picket lines in the past stayed at home and many picket lines reported a great deal of public support.
