PCS members to strike at the Pensions Regulator
Action will be taken from September 5 to 18 after workers offered only a 3% pay rise
Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union members working for the Pensions Regulator are to strike for two weeks.
The more than 150 Brighton-based workers, who protect workplace pensions in the UK, will take action from September 5 – 18 after being offered just a 3% pay rise while civil servants in other government departments receive at least 4.5%.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “Our hard-working members at the Pensions Regulator demand to know why they’re deemed worth less than their colleagues elsewhere.
“They’re furious at finding out the government is treating them as the poor relations of the civil service.
“If ministers want to end what will be disruptive strike action, they can treat these workers fairly and with respect, offering them at least the same pay rise everyone else needs to help them through the cost-of-living crisis and beyond.”
