2015 AGM
Record of decisions
The 2015 PCS Home Office Merseyside Branch Annual General Meeting was held on
Thursday 26 February 2015 at 12pm at the Cross Keys, Earle Street, Liverpool
Following their decision to rip-up the Departmental Facilities Agreement, Home Office management continue to refuse any and all facility time for members to attend their Union's Annual General Meeting. As a consequence the meeting was held at lunchtime to allow for the maximum possible opportunity for participation. The Branch appreciated that this did not help shiftworking colleagues but we hope that everyone recognised that the blame for this fell entirely with Home Office management.
