Our members’ concerns for public services

We are dedicated to listening to our public service members’ concerns and fighting for them:

“Typically we employ people as graduates, train them up for a few years, and when they become experienced, they leave for the private sector for a significantly higher salary.” Prospect member.

“I have worked here since 2008 and my salary has not kept pace with the cost of living. At some point I will have to leave the civil service along with hundreds of thousands of others because I – and they – can no longer afford to stay.” Prospect member.

Invest in people who invest in us

Our public service members love what they do and work for us to maintain services which we all need. They need to have the work they do recognised:

“I work long hours and have accumulated many hundreds of unpaid hours to ensure the work gets done. I usually don’t mind because I love what I am doing but to hear that I am overpaid makes me feel very bitter.” Prospect member.

“We are carrying out work for the benefit of the public. Those we serve deserve to receive services from people qualified to do the work and carry it out efficiently and conscientiously. Too often, politicians and the media portray public services as some sort of cancer in society, draining away valuable resources and not producing anything worthwhile. This affects how the public view local authority and civil service employees like me.” Prospect member.
