PCS slams John Glen over working from home jibes
PCS told the minister for the Cabinet Office to concentrate on improving our members’ pay and conditions after he criticised civil servants for "still working from home too much" and “languishing in lockdown habits for too long.”
The comments were made by John Glen MP in a column for the Evening Standard.
PCS General Secretary Fran Heathcote said: “Our members worked hard throughout the pandemic and continue to work hard now.
“There’s no evidence that working from home lessens productivity. In fact, many people say it makes them more productive because they have a better work-life balance and begin work feeling fresher because they haven’t had a stressful commute.
“John Glen should concentrate on improving our members’ pay and working conditions rather than make political attacks on the very people that keep his government running.”
