The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) is the largest civil service trade union, with a total membership of 310,000 working in over 200 civil service departments, non-departmental public bodies and related areas. PCS is uniquely qualified to comment on the merger as we represent the vast majority of staff and senior managers employed by Customs & Excise (over 18,000 members) and Inland Revenue (over 60,000 members).
PCS is committed to achieving high quality public services and we represent the staff who are a fundamental resource required to deliver customs and revenue services to the public. PCS therefore wants to be at the centre of change within the new department and looks forward to positive and pro-active industrial relations.
