Support the Met Police strike
Join the PCS members on the picket lines on 5 November as they strike over their employer’s refusal to pay them a London cost-of-living payment.
Our members working as civilian police staff in the Met Police will take strike action on 5 November as part of their dispute over the Met’s refusal to pay them a £1250 consolidated allowance to meet the cost of living in London, that was paid to police officers.
The members are also in dispute with management over a mandated return to offices.
The Commissioner has personally appealed to all PCS members, saying taking strike action on 5 November puts the safety of Londoners at risk. But PCS members feel they have no choice but to strike. Members have explained that they take on the same risks and dangers as police officers and have the same costs of living in London.
