PCS General Secretary Mark Serwotka spoke about concerns over the cap on public sector wage rises
Croydon's civil servants quizzed local politicians last week as part of a union campaign to defend jobs and services.
About 150 people attended the meeting at the Fairfield Hotel on April 18. Mark Serwotka said that in Croydon hundreds of staff were facing the prospect of their jobs being relocated to other parts of the country as the Government claimed it could not afford to pay competitive salaries in Croydon.
The union has called a one day strike on May 1 to try and force the Government to the negotiating table.
