Ministry of Justice workers to stage two-day strike over pay

Cleaners, security guards and receptionists at department demand London living wage

Cleaners, security guards and receptionists at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are to stage a 48-hour strike to demand the London living wage.

The action by outsourced workers has been coordinated by the United Voices of the World (UVW) trade union, members of which are overwhelmingly immigrants.

The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) has been planning an overlapping 24-hour stoppage by support staff at the nearby Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
