Metropolitan Police staff have overwhelmingly voted to strike in response to a new policy requiring increased office attendance. The Public and Commercial Services union reported that 85% of members supported the strike, with concerns that the policy disproportionately affects women, part-time workers, and individuals with disabilities. The union argues that the previous agreement allowed for remote work, and they call for a reconsideration of the policy, emphasizing productivity for desk-based roles. The Metropolitan Police maintains that the policy is necessary to bolster frontline services and public trust.
