Industrial strike action to cause potential disruption
Civil Service members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) will be going on strike on Friday 28th April.
Following a nationwide ballot in February, HMRC members of PCS agreed to industrial action and therefore some HMRC staff will be taking part. The action will also include UK-based Home Office members, including Border Force staff.
Potential Impact
The industrial action may impact the movement of goods through UK ports, airports and Inland Border Facilities on Friday 28th April 2023, as well as those travelling to the UK from UK Border controls in Calais, Dunkirk and Coquelles in Northern France.
Customers could experience delays when contacting the National Clearance Hub (NCH) and Customs & International Trade (CIT) helpline. There may also be some disruption on the morning of 29 April as business returns to normal.
Uniserve will be monitoring the situation closely and is committed to keeping our customers fully informed to help keep disruption to supply chains to a minimum.
