Closures will impactย services and put GMB Union members jobsย and futures at risk
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced a plan to close 20 job centres, which will impact services, sparking fury from GMB members.
More than 50 jobs will be put at risk by the scheme, which emergedย last night [Tuesday].
It’s understood future plans could lead to more closures and further job losses
Eamon OโHearn, GMB National Officer, said, โThe proposal to close DWP sites will not only cost jobs butย will undermine Government rhetoric about growing the labour force.
“Closures will undoubtedly impactย on services and represent a screeching U-turnย on the original programme to extend the reach of DWP into communities.
โGMBย members, who work as security at these sites, will have theirย jobs and futures put at risk.
“This planย makes no sense when the Government is toutingย warmย wordsย onย growth and employment.โ
