PCS names HMRC strike dates for 18 days in May and June

HUNDREDS of HM Revenue and Customs workers are set to strike for 18 days in May and June, according to their union PCS. 

More than 400 PCS members working as customer service advisers in Glasgow and Newcastle-upon-Tyne are due to walk out on May 10-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-31 and June 1-2.

PCS is in dispute with the government over pay, pensions, jobs and redundancy.

The union predicts that the walkouts will cause significant problems for businesses across Britain, with services including HMRC’s employer helpline, Student Loans Unit and PAYE registrations set to be affected.

General secretary Mark Serwotka said: “Our hard-working members in HMRC are fed up with being treated with disdain by a government that doesn’t seem to care about its own staff.

“If they did, ministers would be able to stop this strike action tomorrow by making a fair offer to help our members through the cost-of-living crisis and beyond.”
