S
taff working for The Pensions Regulator (TPR) have introduced an extra 14 days of strike motion in a dispute over pay.
More than 280 members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) will take motion on October 11, 12, 17, 18, 23-27, 30 and 31 plus November 1-3.
The employees went on strike earlier this month after the union accused the organisation of being the one authorities division to refuse to implement the federal government’s really useful pay supply of 4.5-5%.
PCS basic secretary Mark Serwotka stated: “TPR management’s disgraceful decision to give their staff less than anyone else has served only to backfire on them by making our members more determined than ever to secure a fair pay rise.
“Following their strike action earlier this month, they are returning to the picket line in the expectation their managers will listen to them or face the possibility of even more strikes in the future.”
A TPR spokesperson stated: “We have put forward a fair pay deal to our staff, prioritising pay for low earners and high achievers.
“This would guarantee our lowest-paid workers a pay rise of 6.25%. We’re negotiating in good faith with the union and want to resolve this dispute as soon as possible.”
