85% of Metropolitan Police staff voted for strike action due to reversed blended working agreement, highlighting dissatisfaction with new office requirements affecting 2,400 workers.
The PCS stated that the new policy disproportionately impacts women, part-time workers, and those with disabilities, showcasing the depth of feeling among staff.
Fran Heathcote, PCS general secretary, emphasized that these members are desk-based civilians who work from home just as productively, without the stress of commuting.
Scotland Yard asserted that the increase in office time is to support the front line and improve public trust, though response to the strike call remains pending.
