Two strikes had been scheduled to take place this week, but have been put on hold for two months, allowing for further talks over job cuts and privatisation.

The truce sees 1,000 new jobs guaranteed, considers the use of temporary and fixed-term workers, and involves the union in HMRC's trial use of private companies to run contact centres.

We must continue to build our political campaigning efforts to achieve permanent guarantees over job cuts."
