MORE than 300 civilian staff at the Metropolitan Police began a two-week strike over a flexible working row today.

The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) said its members had been threatened with having their pay docked if they did not agree to a new attendance policy.

The staff refused to return to the office for additional days which they said were unnecessary.
