The PCS emphasized that the policy notably "disproportionately impacts" women, part-time workers, and individuals with disabilities, raising concerns about fairness and equity in workplace policies.
Fran Heathcote, PCS general secretary, pointedly remarked that "our members are not bobbies on the beat. They are desk-based civilians who work from home just as productively as if they were in the office..."
Heathcote further argued, "It's time politicians and the right-wing media stopped their obsession with telling people where they have to work and started listening to the evidence..."
In addressing the policy, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated, "Our plans will provide consistency across the Met and ensure we can deliver for our communities," underscoring their intent to enhance public trust.
