Around 40 Amulet Security officers at the Bank of England have accepted an improved pay offer, ending ongoing strike action.
The workers look after the perimeter of the Bank and the control room. Amulet Security, or Churchill Security Solutions, took over the contract at the Bank from Mitie Security in February.
The employees were initially told they would not be given a pay rise, but subsequently received an offer of 3.8% in year one and 3% in year two. They rejected this.
They undertook strike action on 13 November for 24 hours, with a picket line outside the Bank of England on London’s Threadneedle Street. They were also due to walk out on 24 November until today (Friday 28 November).
Following the most recent offer of 4% backdated to 1 March 2025 and another 4% from 1 March 2026, all upcoming strikes have been cancelled.
Workers have also been given an additional day of annual leave and Amulet has agreed to recognise Unite as the union for collective bargaining going forward.
Sharon Graham, general secretary at Unite, said: “This is an excellent win for our members at Amulet, who stood firm against their employer until they were given a fair deal.”
Keith Henderson, regional officer at Unite, added: “This is an excellent result for our members at Amulet, who now have a baked-in pay rise for next year too. Unite recognition is also a great win and we look forward to negotiating with the employer in future to ensure our members continue to receive improved pay and conditions.”
Amulet Security was contacted for comment prior to publication.
