Bromley Parking Officers Ready to Strike Over Paltry Pay Rise
Parking officers in Bromley are gearing up for strike action after slapping down a meagre 50p-an-hour pay hike. Earning just £12.21 per hour—far below the London Living Wage—these frontline workers say the offer from contractor APCOA “isn’t enough” and won’t even be backdated.
Pay Dispute Heats Up as Strike Looms
The GMB union demands a “fair, meaningful” pay increase for the council-employed parking staff. Furious workers feel short-changed by APCOA’s token raise and are ready to down tools. Strike dates could be announced any day now.
APCOA Fights Back but Keeps Door Open
APCOA expressed disappointment at the strike threat but insists it remains “open to talks” to settle the dispute. Meanwhile, Bromley Council distances itself, saying the pay row is between the company and its employees.
What Bromley Drivers Need to Know
- Strike dates expected very soon.
- Parking enforcement could grind to a halt across Bromley.
- Residents urged to watch for updates amid potential chaos.
