CIVIL SERVANTS must do “all we can to kick out the Tories,” PCS leader Mark Serwotka will say today.

Opening the public-sector union’s conference in Brighton today, Mr Serwotka will tell voters they have a “vital opportunity to vote for change” in the “starkest political choice for generations.”

He will also call for “joint action” co-ordinated by unions across the public sector to overturn the 1 per cent cap on pay rises imposed by the Tories.

“From economic policy to taxation, from public ownership to public services, the Conservatives and Labour offer fundamentally different approaches,” he is due to say.

“PCS is not affiliated to any political party, but this doesn’t mean we can’t perceive a Tory government would be the worst possible outcome for our members and for all those working in civil and public service.”

He will contrast Labour’s pledges to restore sectoral collective bargaining and repeal anti-union laws with the Conservatives’ “bogus claims on workers’ rights.”

Prime Minister Theresa May has come under fire for a policy offering workers unpaid sabbaticals to care for their relatives.

Mr Serwotka will say: “Under Theresa May the Tories have committed to slashing public services, cutting social security, continuing the public-sector pay cap, and continuing to oversee a failing economy that only works for the very richest few at the expense of millions.

“Yet despite this, there is a myth being perpetuated that the Tories are positioning themselves as the party for workers and attempting to park their tanks on Labour’s lawn.

“This is simply what the Tories want you to think.

“We can’t be too cautious — we must do all we can to kick out the Tories on June 8. Every vote matters in this election.”

The union has never been affiliated to Labour and Mr Serwotka became known as one of New Labour’s fiercest critics.

But he joined the party following Jeremy Corbyn’s election as leader in 2015 and last June his union’s executive voted to support Mr Corbyn’s “continued leadership.”

Delegates at the conference will also hear this afternoon from John McDonnell, who chaired the union’s parliamentary group prior to becoming shadow chancellor last year.
