Tackling Brexit supply chain labor challenges
After many delays, the UK formally left the European Union, one of the largest trade blocks in the world, just before the begin of the COVID-19 pandemic. This historic breakup had major implications for its supply chain, as it left the EU Single Market in January 2020 and The Customs Union one year later.
This also had repercussions on the right to work of the roughly 3.5 million EU citizens (mid-2020) living in the UK and prospective workers from the EU who were still abroad but planning to move to the UK.
