Jobcentres closed or half open...

Mr_Falling_Star

My Union contacts tell me that, because of the Civil Service strike tomorrow, some Jobcentres will be closed, and others will be running a partial service and some will be open as normal

It might be a idea to ring your Jobcentre before you set out if you have a appointment or are signing on over the next couple of days to find out whats what

Why? so you can milk the taxpayer whilst in work then milk then again when your made redundant

Is this a knee jerk reaction due to the conservatives going to be in power and are going to cut the dead weight from the civil service

Ring up to be sure. Surprised there's been nothing in the papers/news about this if it concerns so many.

I don't see why the public sector should be exempt from the cuts that the private sector had. After all, Gordon Brown has spent all the money and is borrowing £178bn a year!

It isnt the public sector that !!!!ed the nation up - that was the private sector - why should the Public Sector pay for private sector incompetence?
