Employees who have begun a second wave of strike action are " fighting just to get by" in the face of the cost of living crisis, according to their union.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) Union working for Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS) in Liverpool are three days into six days of strike action. Having rejected an offer of a 3.25% pay rise, they have taken a second stage of strike action and hope that it will lead to an improved offer, which also improves working conditions.
HGS workers in Liverpool work on the government's Disclosure and Barring Service, working on background checks. On Tuesday, a number of members and union representatives formed a picket line outside their office on Tithebarn Street in Liverpool city centre.
