Latest Ofgem Industrial Action Updates (4)
Strike action has been scheduled for August 24, 25, and 26, coinciding with the upcoming energy price cap announcement. While a pay award of 9.9% over two years was approved, negotiations regarding its implementation have become drawn out.
The employer has refused to compromise on industrial relations and job security during restructuring. Additionally, disagreements remain over the distribution of the pay award and the introduction of recruitment allowances. Members recently voted by a significant majority to renew their strike mandate, and an online meeting has been scheduled.
The dispute in Ofgem is about pay, jobs, working conditions and the way decisions about these are made. Whilst progress has been made on a couple of the issues, Ofgem is refusing to reach key agreements on the other matters.
- Delivery and Schemes staff are among the least well-paid staff in Ofgem
- They administer vital government programmes, meaning staff responsible for regulating the energy market are struggling to pay their own energy bills
- On 11, 12, 13, 14 and 17April, staff will walk out in an escalation of the PCS national campaign over pay, pensions justice and job security
The PCS national campaign over pay, pensions, job security and redundancy terms has been ongoing since November last year, with several one-day national strikes taking place in February and March. Local reps will be in touch with members soon to provide information and help with joining protests. The campaign is ongoing with fresh strike ballots being sent out in order to escalate the action beyond May.
