PCS Land Registry delegates commit to action
Delegates representing PCS members from all Land Registry (LR) offices met in Brighton 20-21 May.
The key session of the conference debated LR's 'Business Strategy' and management's preferred GovCo business model, which together threaten 1,000 jobs and would take the organisation one step closer to privatisation.
Delegates unanimously endorsed resolutions that commit the Group Executive to mounting a strong tactical campaign.
Delegates also agreed that if any member is threatened with compulsory redundancy or if the Minister for Land Registry (Michael Fallon) approves a move away from LR's public sector status then members should be balloted positively for industrial action.
With strong leadership, a broad member based campaign and the threat and delivery of industrial action, privatisation and compulsory redundancies in LR can also be resisted.

Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- We must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our Fighting Fund.
