Metropolitan Police staff have overwhelmingly voted to consider strike action in response to a new work policy mandating up to 100% office attendance. This decision follows a Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) ballot, where 85% supported strike action. The PCS argues the policy disproportionately affects women, part-time workers, and those with disabilities. The Metropolitan Police claim the changes are necessary to support front-line work and public trust. PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote advocates for remote work, emphasizing its productivity and reduced commuting stress.
