The UK Government has been accused of “moving jobs out of West Lothian” after it was announced Bathgate DWP workers are being forced to relocate or change jobs.
Back office workers will be given the choice of moving to another base in Falkirk or will be retrained and redeployed the elsewhere within DWP or another government department.
The changes were announced last week by the UK Government and won’t affect any public-facing roles.
