Around 40 staff picketed the Financial Conduct Authority’s headquarters in Stratford this morning as employees began the first industrial action in the regulator’s history.

The protestors arrived in convoy at around 8.40am on 4 May in a demonstration aimed to get the watchdog back around the table to discuss its new offer on pay and conditions.
