HMRC, in a volte farce, has reversed its decision to axe 38 jobs in the HMRC Dundee contact centre.
As such the strike action, that was to have commenced this week, has been stopped.
The Courier reports that a last-minute offer by HMRC saw the union call off the strike at 11am.
PCS branch chair Tam Dolan described it as “a major victory for the union and the staff concerned.”
Why then did HMRC back down on this, could it be to do with the referendum or something else?
Tax does have to be taxing.

Dundee is a real spanner in the works for HMRC, this particular decision will be a top down HMG political directive imposed for obvious reasons at this time. Just goes to show how inept HMRC bosses are announcing the original closure decision just ahead of the referendum, or does it?
ReplyDeleteCould be a very clever piece of 'flip flop' at a very sensitive point in time and planned carefully?
No, surely not, no-one would use and abuse people like that, would they?
Wonder if Revenue Scotland will run on 'Lean' lines.
Forgot, keep up the good work Dundee staff, wish there were more like you.
