The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) is the fifth largest trade union in the UK, with over 300,000 members.
We are organised throughout the civil service and government agencies, making us the UK’s largest civil service trade union.
We also organise widely in the private sector, usually in areas that have been privatised.
We are a democratic organisation, run by our members, for our members. We campaign for fair pay and conditions, decent pensions for all and equality in the workplace and beyond.

Scottish union learning fund
PCS Scotland has been successful in achieving further funding through the Scottish Union Learning Fund (SULF). A total in excess of £200,000 split over the 3 years of the project has been awarded and will run to 31st March 2011. The funding will allow PCS in Scotland to:
• Build on the success of previous projects in Scotland by actively advising and encouraging members to uptake learning opportunities, with a particular focus on literacy and numeracy, supporting the members through the process.
• Continue to support, enhance and develop our network of Learning Reps, particularly in branches and workplaces with little or no Learning Rep presence.
• Continue to develop a sustainable infrastructure of support for union learning reps incorporated into branch structures and embed learning into the organising and bargaining work of the union.
• Maintain PCS’ position as one of the lead unions involved in lifelong learning in Scotland.
