After MyCSP/Equiniti’s insisting on elevating bloody-mindedness to an artform, and refusing to recognise the union because, well, ‘just because’; today PCS and Capita signed a union recognition agreement, ahead of the transfer of the Civil Service Pensions work on Monday 1st December 2025.
This means that from ‘Day 1’ of the Capita contract, our
union will be recognised by the new employer for negotiations, consultation and
information purposes. In short, there’ll be proper union engagement.
You can find the union's report of the agreement here.
In the coming days, the union will be publishing the full details
of the agreement, including the new ‘dispute resolution process’.
Our dispute was never with Capita, but we’re confident that
the action MyCSP members have been taking over the last five months or so, has
left no-one in any doubt that members working on the Civil Service Pensions
contract, want real representation in the workplace by a real Trade Union.
So as the MyCSP strike draws to a close, we can look back
and be proud that our action has played a key part in bringing about a better approach
to our way of working.
