Pensions Regulator members vote for further strikes

Over 300 PCS members working for The Pensions Regulator (TPR) in Brighton have voted to take further industrial action by a margin of 95.70% on a turnout of 75%.

Out of 339 members entitled to vote, 256 ballot papers were received. There were 245 (95.7%) yes votes and 11 (4.3%) no votes.

Members have already taken strike action on 11, 12, 17 18, 23, 27, 30, and 31 October and are on strike this week until 3 November. 

This round of action builds on the strike taken by members between 5 and 18 September in pursuit of our national campaign demands.

TPR is only offering a pay rise of 3% while other civil service employers are paying a minimum of 4.5%, with an additional 0.5% of the overall pay pot to be targeted at the worst-paid staff.

Members are frustrated with the continued intransigence of TPR and their insistence on imposing an unagreed pay offer during this phase of strike action.
