WIDESPREAD anger among workers at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is being stoked as bosses “refuse to discuss pay and plummeting staff morale,” Unite warned today.

In a letter to FCA chief executive Nikhil Rathi, the union demanded that the financial services regulator rethink a below-inflation wage deal of just 4.5 per cent.

Unite said its latest workforce survey reveals “dissatisfaction and frustration amongst employees, with over half considering leaving their jobs.”
