METROPOLITAN POLICE staff have voted to strike for the first time, having been ordered back to the office in the New Year.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union members were outraged after managers reneged on a blended working deal that allowed them to work from home part of the week.
The new edict affects 2,400 civilians who support the day-to-day work of police officers, but disproportionately impacts women, part-time workers and those with disabilities.
