Unite the Union confirmed more than 170 members working in the MetCC call centre and in the force’s fleet operations voted to accept an improved pay offer. Industrial action had been planned from January 19 to 24, but was postponed pending a vote on the new offer. "By standing together, our members at the Met have protected their pay and conditions and they should be congratulated for this important win." Keith Henderson, regional officer for Unite, said: "Strike action showed how important police staff are to the operations of the Met and that they deserved a fair pay rise. "Thankfully, the Met listened to us, and our members can celebrate this important pay deal."
