Members of Unite the union will start their historic strike action on Wednesday 4th May 2022 at the Financial Conduct Authority. This industrial action is the first action since the inception of the regulator.
To mark the start of the strike FCA staff will be outside the FCA head office at 8.45am on Wednesday to express their anger at the failure of their employer to address their concerns around pay, terms and conditions and lack of trade union recognition.
There will be a media photo call where FCA strikers will be will be holding placards, flags and leafletting visitors to the FCA office and members of the public. The message from the workforce will be: “FCA, listen to your staff.”
A similar event will be held on Wednesday 4th May at the FCA’s smaller site in Edinburgh.
The strike will take place on the 4th and 5th May. Then there will be further action on the 9th – 10th June and then the 5th – 6th July. Staff at the FCA will be working to rule from the 6th May and continue for all days that are not strike days.
The management of the FCA continues to refuse to negotiate with trade union representatives or try to resolve the dispute through the conciliation service ACAS.
Unite is dedicated to advancing the jobs, pay and conditions of its members and will fight back against any efforts to diminish workers’ living standards.
