Civil servants at Land Registry vote to strike over office work requirements

Civil servants at the Land Registry have voted to strike against new requirements to work in the office three days a week. About 3,800 staff members, part of the Public and Commercial Services Union, prefer to continue working from home. Union leaders argue that office attendance does not improve productivity and is unpopular among employees. They have called for management to reconsider the new policy to avoid strike action. The Land Registry has acknowledged the strike vote but has not received formal notification of strike dates. The potential impact on property registration delays remains uncertain as the agency prepares to maintain essential services during any industrial action.
