Staff at equality commission plan further walkouts
STAFF at the Equality and Human Rights Commission will take further strike action and launch legal action over its victimisation of union reps and failure to reinstate staff sacked by email, the PCS union announced yesterday.
Members working in London, Glasgow, Cardiff and Manchester will take 20 days of rolling strike action in a long-running dispute over budget cuts and redundancies, beginning on Monday May 15 at the Glasgow office.
Nine members of staff were issued with dismissal notices in February — some by email with just 24 hours’ notice — and three more were sacked by email weeks later.
