Civil servants are threatening to go on strike over demands to return to the office for two days a week.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union working for the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) have voted for strike action over the order.
The more than 200 workers – who investigate complaints about government departments, other public organisations and the NHS in England – are also taking action over a pay claim and a change in working conditions.
The union claimed that the poorly paid staff can work just as effectively from home without having to waste money out of their wages on travelling to the office. They voted with an 81 per cent majority for strike action with a turnout of 67 per cent.
Fran Heathcote, the PCS general secretary, said: “Low and stagnating pay is a real issue for our members at the PHSO. It’s exacerbated by people having to pay to commute to the office when they can save money and time by working from home just as effectively, if not more effectively.
“Managers can resolve this dispute if they are prepared to talk to us and be flexible. If they continue to ignore us, then strike action is inevitable.”
Resistance over return to the office
They are the latest workers to take industrial action over what the PCS claim are the Government’s “arbitrary” directives to return to the office.

England is falling apart. The influx of Arabs is not helping matters either.

I hope they all receive a pink slip at their home mailing address.
Isn’t this happening in England?
Federal workers in the US are required to go in 5 days a week starting next month. Maybe these public serpents should quit whining and be grateful they can still do 3 days a week from home.
Ronald Reagan faced a similar situation. He had a very simple and very effective response. My guess is that DJT knows of this moment in recent history.
Let em go out.
Replace them with competent individuals.
Seems that the place went down hill really fast after the Queen passed away.
It went downhill once the Tories ditched Enoch Powell.
The TRUMP Whitehouse...where DEI goes to DIE.
PATCO

bye Felicias
Retarded DemonRAT Senators tell their Feral employees to use their incontinence to bring down President Trump and the American government of the people.
A strike? Would we notice?
Worker: “Why do I need to come to the office to work?”
Boss: “Your job is in the office. If you are not in the office you do not have a job. Next Question.”
We well see your strike over 2 days per week.
Raise you mandatory 5 days a week with 2 off.
So they’re striking to not come in to work 2 days by not coming in for two days. I guess I got it.
