1,000 ONS workers, represented by PCS, may strike over work-from-home disagreements as the agency demands staff return to the office two days a week.

1,000 Office for National Statistics (ONS) workers, represented by the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), may strike due to disagreements over working from home arrangements. The government agency has requested staff return to the office two days a week, which conflicts with their ability to work from home since the beginning of the pandemic. The PCS argues that the change in policy has caused anger and demoralization among staff, while the ONS states that face-to-face interaction supports collaboration and fosters learning and innovation.
