Under the current terms of reference, Rishi Sunak alone will determine the outcome of complaints against Dominic Raab. That process is clearly flawed. I’ve written to the Prime Minister to call for the Independent Adviser to be given power to make recommendations on the findings.

Sunak needs to prioritise those people at the heart of these complaints against Raab, rather than retaining political control. It's the only way civil servants can have any confidence in the process.

Dealing with the requirements of a new department is so tiring, but I know I have FDA union looking put for me and all the other affected members. Take a look and #JoinAUnion

By mass pile on, do you mean dozens of civil servants across three government departments - over four years - raising complaints through a process that requires the Prime Minister’s agreement to even investigate? In that case, I’m not sure you know what a mass pile on is.

❤️ It's #HeartUnions week ❤️ Help us celebrate the great work of unions by encouraging a colleague to join today: fda.org.uk/join They’ll be standing alongside more than 22,000 members who believe that public services – and the people who deliver them – matter.

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.

Delighted to host an FDA Learn stall at a ‘Meet the Neighbours: ED&I Day’ at HMRC in Cardiff today.

The government is sending the clearest possible signal that it does not value the civil service and wants to treat it differently to the rest of the public sector. My statement on why the FDA is launching a national ballot on industrial action ⬇️

At the ARC AGM in Leeds, members in HMRC have voted to endorse the FDA Executive Committee's decision to ballot for industrial action over pay.

In 1958 the Council of Women Civil Servants dissolved itself, believing its objectives were met. For #IWD2024 six surviving female FDA Presidents discuss the challenges still facing women in senior roles & reflect on their time leading the union. fda.org.uk/home/Newsandme…

Our National Officer for Ofsted Matt Newman responds to the Education Secretary saying that she “would probably have punched” Ofsted inspectors

ARC President Loz Hutton introduces the Funding the Nation report, which calls for large scale investment into compliance and customer service to close the tax gap. fundingthenation.org

JRM would be better reading and supporting the fundingthenation.org report from ARC FDA union which finds that if HMRC were properly funded, it would result in improvements to customer service AND increase revenue for the Treasury. It’s NOT about home vs office working

Civil servants have a code of conduct, like many other professions, but ours is also part of the law. So when that code is under threat, we made the difficult choice to challenge the Government by judicial review. Read more here ⬇️

Kicking off the second day of the ARC AGM, Dave Penman pays tribute to outgoing President Loz Hutton who, over the past four years, led the Section through successful pay and contract reform, responded to the challenges of the pandemic and launched our Funding the Nation campaign.
