Warning of Passport delays as strike action to take place
OVER 1000 members of the Public and Commercial Services Union at the Passport Office Workers are going on strike for 5 weeks, from:- 3 April to 5 May 2023, Monday to Saturday. The strike action is being held following unresolved disputes over:- jobs, conditions, and pay.
The strike will affect both applications and deliveries of passports in the run-up to the summer holidays. The strike affects England, Wales, and Scotland. Currently, the strike doesn't affect Belfast, but they could join the strike, soon, if a ballot currently being held is found to be in favor of action. This situation could impact many holiday plans, and have a potential impact, yet again, on the leisure and tourism industry. A sector that has been heavily affected by recent issues, from Brexit issues, Covid19, and fuel costs, to name just a few problems to hit the industry. If this affects you or you are going on strike, please let us know what you think about the current situation by emailing our newsroom:- News24@SouthportReporter.Com, or sending us a message on:- Facebook or Twitter, as we would like to know your thoughts.
