Brighton-based workers at the Pensions Regulator are to receive a pay rise after a breakthrough in negotiations following a long running campaign of strikes.

The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) said the deal is worth up to an increase of 7.55%.

The workers took more than 60 days of strike action.

PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said:

"This hard-fought and ground-breaking, above-inflation, pay outcome is just reward for our members who wouldn't back down during their long struggle."

A Pensions Regulator spokesperson said:

"We are pleased to have reached a pay settlement for 2024-25, which is fair to our staff and prioritises those at the lower end of their pay band."
