About this event

The FCA have announced their decision on staff pay for 2023. This decision was taken without any staff consultation, makes little adjustment for the cost-of-living crisis, and leaves a lot of staff with difficult decisions to take for their careers and livelihoods.

T﻿his Town Hall is for all FCA and PSR staff to come together and discuss how this has affected you, how this has made you feel, and what you think we, as your Union, should do next.

Y﻿ou do not have to be a member of Unite the Union to join our Town Hall – we strongly encourage all staff to attend regardless of membership, how long you’ve worked here, or which office you’re based at. However, the more members we have, the stronger our voice on pay and the better your protections in the workplace. You can join Unite the Union here today.

We believe the recent announcement significantly and permanently devalues the FCA workforce and stands in stark contrast to their commitments on staff representation made only last month.

L﻿ast year harsh absolute pay cuts, lack of staff representation, and reduced conditions and benefits saw staff have no choice but take industrial action for the first time in the FCA’s history. Whilst we always consider industrial action a last resort, we’re concerned that, despite explicit commitments made to staff in the wake of such action, the FCA has not delivered progress on any of these issues to date.

Y﻿ou voice will make a difference in what we do next – so please do join.

If you’re not yet a member of Unite, you can also join our Branch Newsletter mailing list by emailing uniteatfca@gmail.com to opt in.

Hybrid Working Survey 2024
2024-09-13 08:00 - 2024-09-26 19:00
Shape the future of Hybrid working at the FCA and PSR.

This survey is now closed.

The FCA has launched a review of current hybrid working arrangements that affect us all.

The CEO has given welcome assurances that for the vast majority of us, there will be few changes to our current 40% in-office requirements. However, the organisation recently brought this up to 80% and 100% in local areas with short-notice and no consultation. Stricter measures are being taken to track and enforce office attendance. We think there can be improvements in how and when flexible working adjustments are made.

This means it matters getting the Hybrid Working Review right.

That’s why we’re running this survey. It builds on what members have shared at our Branch meetings, and from our case work, so we can make sure we are fully representing your views.

This also helps us set the bar the organisation needs to meet in outlining its business needs and thoroughly evidencing how their hybrid working proposals deliver best practice in meeting them.

We’re also making the case for staff to secure trade union recognition at the FCA and PSR. This would require the organisation to negotiate and bargain with staff reps on terms and conditions like hybrid working, rather than simply consult them. This would bring staff representation here in line with almost every other public sector workplace in the UK when making decisions about hybrid working. If you’d like to support this, let us know in the survey – we can’t get recognition without you and it’s your right to support and ask for union representation.
