Dozens of Liverpool workers could stage indefinite industrial action in their long-running dispute over pay and working conditions.
Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) members working at Hinduja Global Solutions in Liverpool have threatened to continue their strike action for an indeterminate period after talks broke down with conciliation service ACAS. The 82 staff, employed by HGS to run the contact centre and back-office functions of the government’s Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), have already taken four weeks of strike action.
A further two weeks of walkouts will be held from December 12, as well as the imposition of an indefinite overtime ban from December 26. Workers on Tithebarn Street have taken 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.
