TPR workers “poor relations of the civil service”
More than 150 Brighton based workers – responsible for protecting workplace pensions and their members in the UK – will will take the action between September 5 and 18.
This is in response to being offered a 3% pay rise, while civil servants in other government departments will receive at least 4.5%.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “Our hard-working members at the Pensions Regulator demand to know why they’re deemed worth less than their colleagues elsewhere.
“They’re furious at finding out the government is treating them as the poor relations of the civil service.
“If ministers want to end what will be disruptive strike action, they can treat these workers fairly and with respect, offering them at least the same pay rise everyone else needs to help them through the cost-of-living crisis and beyond.”
A spokesperson for the Pensions Regulator said: “We value our staff highly and hope to achieve a successful resolution with the PCS Union as soon as possible, within our current performance related pay structure that is fair and equitable.”
