"To fight for fair pay and conditions, our dedicated members at the Palace of Westminster will take industrial action this week just as parliament returns from recess. Day and night, they work incredibly hard to ensure the safety of MPs, Lords, staff and visitors in the UK's national parliament building. "They deserve to be treated fairly and to have their many concerns addressed by the employer.""
""Parliamentary security staff are valued colleagues. "We remain committed to working closely with staff and unions to address the issues raised and to reach a resolution. "As always, the safety and security of all members of the Parliamentary community, as well as those that visit Parliament, remains our absolute priority. "Working closely with the Met Police, we have implemented robust contingency plans which will ensure both the safety of the estate as usual and no disruption to parliamentary business.""
Parliamentary security staff will take strike action and implement an overtime ban and work-to-rule until September 12. The industrial action seeks fair pay and improved working conditions for staff at the Palace of Westminster. Holders of Parliamentary passes will be prohibited from bringing guests onto the estate during the action. Parliamentary management described security staff as valued colleagues and committed to working with unions to address concerns. Contingency plans developed with the Metropolitan Police are in place to maintain estate safety and to prevent disruption to parliamentary business. Security staff continue day-and-night duties to protect MPs, Lords, staff, and visitors.
