Members of PCS union work for the DWP and job centres so are involved in the day to day delivery of workfare and sanctions. Members have shown they oppose it by voting for national policy against workfare and sanctions.
Now Disabled People Against Cuts, Black Triangle and Boycott Workfare are asking them to use their power to help put a stop to these punitive measures.
Disabled People Against Cuts, Black Triangle and Boycott Workfare joint statement on PCS Union and non-cooperation:
1. We note that motion A81 that recently passed at the PCS conference makes reference to the PCS Union working with Disabled People Against Cuts and Black Triangle. (1)
2. We note that motions E340-E342 submitted by DWP branches also called for the PCS to work with Boycott Workfare, but that references to Boycott Workfare were dropped by the NEC from motion A81. (1)
3. Black Triangle and Disabled People Against Cuts wish to express their solidarity with Boycott Workfare who we believe have organised a broad based and successful campaign against workfare and sanctions.
4. We note that the legal advice received by the PCS in 2013 accepted that the tactic of non-cooperation could be used as part of a campaign of industrial action consisting of action short of a strike. (2)
5. We note that the PCS currently have a live mandate for industrial action and will be consulting members on 12th June about coordinated strike action. (3)
6. Disabled People Against Cuts, Black Triangle and Boycott Workfare therefore call on the PCS NEC to consult members on adopting a tactic of non-cooperation with workfare and sanctions.
Support our call for PCS to ballot for non-cooperation on sanctions and workfare:
- Get in contact with your local branches and ask them to raise it with their union.

long overdue something is needed to stop this idiocy affecting everyone
Social Justice Not Social Slavery
Help the Poor Not Hurt the Poor
Bout time something was done too many people dying going hungry
LEOPARDS NEVER CHANGE THEIR SPOTS, PCS IS AN OUT OF CONTROL STATE SPONSORED KILLING MACHINE.
“THEY HAVE LAID TO REST MORE BODIES, TEN TIMES MORE THAN WERE LOST ON THE DAY FOLLOWING THE NORMANDY LANDINGS”
EFFECTIVELY, THEY HAVE BECOME AN ELITE ASSASSINATION SQUAD OF THE DWP, HANDING OUT SANCTIONS AT AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE TO MARRY UP TO THE TARGETS SET BY THEIR MASTERS………….
HUMAN FEELINGS WENT OUT OF THE WINDOW YEARS AGO, CLAIMANTS TREATED LIKE PURE SHIT, DAY IN, DAY OUT.
THE STAFF HAVE INDEED, BECOME ZOMBIES, ALIENATED FROM THE EVIL THEY COMMIT, HARDENED TO DENY BASIC HUMAN NEEDS TO THOSE MOST IN NEED.
ONCE YOU OVERCOME THE FIRST FEW ATROCITIES, THE INTENSITY OF HATRED ESCALATES TO A FEVER PITCH, THE THIRST TO COMMIT MORE EVIL TAKING OVER FROM NORMAL HUMAN EMOTION.
YOU CANNOT EXPECT A DOG WHIPPED INTO SUBMISSION BY A CRUEL OWNER TO SUDDENLY REBEL.
THE PCS IS A SPINELESS ORGANISATION REIGNED BY AN EQUALLY SPINELESS INDIVIDUAL, SERWOTKA.
SERWOTKA IS WHAT I WOULD CALL A FIRM’S MAN, WEARING TWO HATS AND LOOKING FOR HIS JUST REWARD, PROBABLY A KNIGHTHOOD…………………………..
“UNION PRINCIPLES ARE ALWAYS BUILT ON THE WAY IT’S MEMBERS TREAT OTHERS, SADLY THE PCS ABANDONED THIS ASPECT WHEN THEY GAVE ALLEGIANCE TO THE CRAZED KILLERS THAT ULTIMATELY CONTROL THEM”
THE PCS ARE GUILTY OF MANY THINGS, BUT PRETENDING TO SHOW REMORSE FOR THEIR SICKENING ACTIONS IS NOTHING SHORT OF PRETENCE.
UNITY IS BASED ON SOLIDARITY, THESE COCKSUCKERS HAVE NOT AN OUNCE OF SOLIDARITY, ALREADY COWERING TO THEIR MASTERS PROJECTED TARGETS, WEASELS ON A PIANO WIRE………..
PASSING RESOLUTIONS AT A CONFERENCE IS SO EASY……………..
FAR EASIER THAN UPSETTING THE BIG BAD WOLF THAT BREATHES DOWN YOUR NECK AT WORK.
SPINELESS WOULD BE A COMPLIMENT, THE PCS ARE MORE AFRAID OF HAVING THEIR PERSONAL MONEY STOPPED AS THOSE THEY DO IT TO, ON A DAILY BASIS…………………..
Millionaire Politician’s Know Nothing about Poverty and Deprivation and Picking on the Vulnerable is Totally Un Ethical.
The Country Need’s a Government that will bring about a Caring Socialist State and Society Not be a Puppet of Big Business Slave Labour Pushers .
The Nazi Tyrant Adolf Hitler kowtowed to Big Business to come to Power and the
Nazi’s Victimised the Poor and Vulnerable.
It is Not Welfare that need’s cutting it is Tax Break’s for the Rich and MPS Expenses .
It is Understandable if the Poor feel Utterly Alienated when Politic’s is Dominated by The I Am All Right Jack Rich and Welfare Policy Reflect’s that UnJust Domination by the I Am All Right Jack Rich.
It is Important that their is a Strong Voice to the Poor and Vulnerable and Stand’s Up to Ignoramus Tabloids over Welfare
Closer and closer to state sponsored elimination of the poor, disabled, and those who support them.
Enough is Enough of the Victimisation of the Poor and Knowledge
The Underdog need’s a Voice and it is Warfare that we Need an End
and the Welfare State to be Restored in a Caring State and Society
Burying the Head in the Sand like an Ostrich is what let the
Nazi’s Get Away with their Tyranny Evil and Oppression
Social Justice Yes Oppression and Slavery No
Present Glorification of Warmongering against Iraq Iran Syria Afganistan and Russia Need’s to be Opposed
People get Used by the System as Cannon Fodder in HM Armed Forces and when they come
Back often get Left to Suffer including being Homeless Hardly a Reward For Serving
” Queen and Country ” .
The World has seen Enough World Wars and Need to see No More World Wars..
The West has been More an Aggressor than Iraq Iran Syria and Russia .
Equally Military Conscription and Islamophobia have to be Opposed as Well.

Housing Associations Need to be Held Accountable or they should be Abolished
and Housing Stock given Back to Local Councils
Instead of this Nazi State and Nasty Society we Need a Nicer State and
Nicer Society as I am Totally Pissed Off with the Totalitarianism of this
” Democratic Society ” and the Nihilism of the Selfish Townie Trance
No to Neo Nazism No to Neo Liberalism Yes to Social Justice
Human Dignity For the Poor and Vulnerable Not Nazi Style Degradation
