A third wave of strike action by “frustrated and angry” Liverpool workers has begun.
For the next two weeks, members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) will leave their posts at Hinduja Global Solutions as they seek improved terms of pay and working conditions. The 82 workers, employed by HGS to run the contact centre and back-office functions of the government’s Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), will take action from today until October 29, after which they will work only their contracted hours.
Workers on Tithebarn Street have already staged 12 days strike action over their pay, including a commitment to paying at least the Living Wage Foundation of £10.90 per hour, pay when sick, an annual leave entitlement of 27 days, paid breaks and job security.
