HMRC Staff On Strike From Today

10th May 2023

Workers at HM Revenue and Customs have launched a series of strikes from today Wednesday 10 May 2023

Members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) in East Kilbride and Newcastle upon Tyne will be on strike from 10 to 12, 15 to 19, 22 to 26, 29 to 31 May and on 1 and 2 June.

The start of the strike coincides with the closure of a ballot of PCS members in 184 other areas of the civil service on whether to renew a mandate for industrial action.

PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "Our members in HMRC are the latest in a long line of PCS members being forced to take strike action to fight for the pay rise PCS members deserve.

“In HMRC alone, almost one in three staff are now on national minimum wage."
