STRIKING cleaning and catering workers at the Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) in East Kilbride have announced a further wave of action as long-running pay and conditions dispute continues.

Demanding improvements to pay, sick pay and annual leave entitlements, the workers — employed by outsourcing giant OCS and represented by the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) — have already walked out this week, challenging Foreign Secretary David Lammy to intervene and make good on Labour’s promise to deliver “the biggest wave of in-sourcing of public services for a generation.”
