The PCS union is balloting its members over the Met's office working policy.
Civilian staff employed by the Metropolitan Police are being balloted for strike action in a dispute over office working.
Depending on where they work, the increase in office attendance is from 40% to 60%, from 60% to 80% or from 80% to 100%, said the union.PCS members working at the Office of National Statistics have previously voted for strike action over compulsory office attendance, while members at the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government are campaigning for a four-day working week.
"There is no evidence people work better in the office. In fact, the opposite is true because workers are more productive when they have a better work-life balance, not having a stressful commute and able to spend more time with their family at home before and after work."
