FDA Learn

he FDA is the trade union representing professionals and managers in public service.

We believe that public services – and those who work in them – matter. We stand up for our members and strive to improve their working lives, and seek to help them make the most of their careers.

Our membership spans across civil service grades and includes policy advisors, diplomats, lawyers, tax professionals, economists, statisticians and museum curators.

We work with members across more than 200 Government departments, agencies, and arm’s-length bodies in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and overseas.

We are proud of our history. For over one hundred years, we have been helping public servants. We have improved their pay, pensions, and working conditions; we have championed equality and fought discrimination; we have promoted civil service values, and were fundamental in the establishment of the civil service code.
