The Department of Work and Pensions has sparked fury after announcing it will close 20 Jobcentres. It is understood more than 50 roles across the UK will be put at risk as part of the move.
The scheme emerged on Tuesday night, prompting a blacklash from the GMB union. The Mirror believes it could lead to more job losses in the future.
Eamon O’Hearn, GMB National Officer, said that the plans would also undermine the Government's talk of "growing the labour force". The proposal to close DWP sites will not only cost jobs but will undermine Government rhetoric about growing the labour force," he said.
