MOPAC members to strike for three more days

The members at the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime are continuing their dispute over pay

PCS members working for the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) were initially offered a pay increase of only 1.5%. After pressure from PCS, the employer moved to 2% which is still below inflation, represents a real-terms pay cut, and falls short of the branch’s 4.1% pay claim. It is also one of the lowest pay rises across the public sector in London.

Members took four days of strike action in January, but despite meeting with us twice since then the employer has made no meaningful offers. This has left members with no option than to turn to further strike action.

The members will walk out on Tuesday 24, Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 February.

The Mayor of London has recently praised the drop in London's crime rate, mentioning MOPAC's Violence Reduction Unit. MOPAC members believe keeping London as one of the safest cities in the world needs to be properly funded, and staff should be able to afford to live in the city in which they work.

PCS has written to mayor of London Sadiq Khan about his workers’ low pay and the PCS parliamentary group will also be taking up the issue.

MOPAC is part of the Greater London Assembly 'family' and striking members will target the London Assembly members with a series of strike-day rallies outside City Hall. The rallies will be held from 8:30-10:30am on each strike day to target:
