  The Socialist Caucus is an independent organisation of rank and file union activists. We have existed since 1979, and has been at the forefront of struggles in the Civil Service unions ever since.

We have a proud record of playing a leading role in organising and building campaigns. Struggles such as the 'Open Plan' dispute over safety in ES, against relocation of work in the DhSS, the 1995 ES pay dispute, the JSA strikes in 1996, the London & South East staffing campaign in BA.

Socialist Caucus played a leading role in campaign of PCS Must Fight back, which saw a major victory with Mark Serwotka, elected as the General Secretary.

As the DWP has been formed Socialist Caucus has played a key role in building the campaign for safety in Jobcentre Plus. Socialist Caucus campaigned successfully for a joint BA/ES conference. Since then it has brought together activists from across ES and BA to build a campaign from below that has got this union moving.

As socialists we are opposed to the ideas of social partnership between capital and labour held by the TUC leaders. We are for a fighting democratic union. A union run by the members and not by bureaucrats and full-time officials. A union that will stand up to the employers not cosy up to them.

If you want to fight back against management. If you are sick of being underpaid, discriminated against and stressed out. If you believe in a union that campaigns against privatisation. Fed up with a union leadership that delivers little for the members on the front-line. Then its time you joined the Socialist Caucus.
