The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) Union has confirmed 432 HMRC workers will go on strike for 18 days in May and June amid a campaign over pay, pensions, job security and redundancy terms.
The union said members working as customer service advisers in Glasgow and Newcastle-upon-Tyne will walk out on 10 May for three days.
They will also walk out between 15 and 19 May, 22 and 26 May and 29 and 31 May, as well as 1 and 2 June.
Given that calls are not answered, or cut off and letters remain unopened for months; no one will notice this "strike"!
Tax does have to be taxing.

I was going to say exactly the same thing. Not to worry, The Muppet Show has robust plans in place to deal with every eventuality.
ReplyDeleteNine Billion has been lost. Nine thousand million pounds. How many Band O grades, working from home would that pay for?
ReplyDeleteHow many food banks would that fill? Elderly heating bills paid for?

Wonderful, unbiased journalism from The Torygraph. When in doubt, just blame the staff and their gold plated pensions. Never the managers, cost cutting or office closures.

They're too busy accepting gongs and worshipping at the digital temple as a cure to all ills. The criminal fraternity, however, are far more concerned with bleeding the country dry...
ReplyDeleteThey've lost most of the people that can deal with this criminality. The department is nothing more than a morale sapping shithole.
