We have started discussions with @HMRCgovuk on what this may mean for our members. Plucking numbers out of thin air, without a proper plan, is not the way for any Government to operate. If you are not already a member, there isn’t a better time to join - fda.org.uk/join
Ministers are ‘picking number out of air’ for civil service job cuts, says union theguardian.com/politics/202…
This is a great article showcasing why so many new people have joined @FDA_union, especially those who have become new reps. Reps are an integral part of our union working tirelessly to make all aspects of their workplace better for their fellow members and colleagues.
This #HeartUnions week, we’ve spoken to some of our new members about why they joined the FDA

This is yet another reason why arbitrary staffing levels are not useful. Proposing to reduce HMRCs staffing levels without due consideration would make it difficult to obtain this outstanding debt which could be used for wider public services civilserviceworld.com/profes…

@ARC_Union President, Loz Hutton pays tribute to the hard work of all the reps and all the work they do on behalf of members.
Looking forward to welcoming all our @ARC_Union delegates and @FDAGenSec later this morning for our AGM in beautiful Edinburgh.
Again, JRM doesn’t understand the modern workplace. Govts own policy is to reduce their estate, Civil Servants have been working flexibly for years, there aren’t enough desks for them all. This constant denigration needs to stop, it isn’t good for health, productivity or morale.
JRM seems to forget civil servants are working regardless of their location, the same ones who devised&implemented furlough schemes helping millions of people. Govt has reduced estate, there are far fewer desks than staff and impossible for them all to work in the office everyday
This is so offensive to civil servants, our members have been working tirelessly throughout the pandemic whether that was creating and rolling out the furlough scheme, processing universal credit applications, buying vaccines alongside so many other things.
Big thanks to @VicTaylorJones for her session with @IOTAtax highlighting the important work which @FDA_union and @ARC_Union have been doing on the future world of work within the Civil Service.
Thanks for having me this morning @IOTAtax and letting me share a bit about the thinking @FDA_union is doing on the future world of work 👌
@FDAGenSec hits the nail on the head. Civil servants have constantly delivered, from the job retention/furlough scheme to processing universal credit claims to sourcing ventilators amongst so many other things. This is just about posturing rather than embracing change.
If the civil service wasn’t delivering, they’d have a point. But of course, they don’t. It’s a fake battle of binary choices to show how tough they are, to an audience that knows no better & pundits who couldn’t care less.
My latest for @CSWnews civilserviceworld.com/in-dep…
It’s been a really good few days working with our @ARC_Union reps to talk about current issues in HMRC and how we resolve them for our members. Great interactive and thought provoking session from @FDAGenSec too on branch organising. Fantastic to see you all after so long!
Really good article by @stevecummins78 on the history and the work which @FDA_union does on behalf of its members. Have a read and then do join - fda.org.uk/join

Thanks Dave, so important we have you to do this when Civil Servants cannot speak public ally about their concerns. Join this union folks - another good reason right here 👇
Thanks for the heads-up Mark. The rights I’m trying to protect are those of my members, who have the right to go to work and not be put in harm’s way by the actions of others.

If you aren’t already a member, do look at the benefits of @FDA_union membership and join thousands of our civil servant members at fda.org.uk/join #joinaunion
I really changed something at work in the last 4-6 months. It’s made a significant difference to colleagues hoping to advance their careers. I was really only able to do it because I joined @FDA_union and advocated on behalf of colleagues. Proud of myself! #joinaunion #humblebrag
Big thanks to the @ARC_Union delegates who attended AGM. Really good debate setting our policy for the next year and an excellent panel session with @FDAGenSec & Esther Wallington on pay, equality, CS Reform, future ways of working, pensions and what keeps everyone up at night!
Really excited to welcome to all our @ARC_union delegates joining our first ever virtual AGM today. Looking forward to debating the issues affecting our @HMRCgovuk members and hearing from @FDAGenSec later. #ARCAGM2021
