Financial Conduct Authority staff waved placards and called for better pay while blasting “Get Up, Stand Up” by Bob Marley from a small sound system during the first strike in the watchdog’s nine-year history.
Around 30 staff and union officials carried union flags and chanted “exploitation ain’t the way, employees deserve their pay,” beneath the regulator’s east London headquarters on Wednesday morning.
