A public services union has called an emergency meeting amid potential job losses at a Liverpool job centre.
PCS Union confirmed its members will meet tonight at Toxteth Town Hall as it seeks to stave off staff cuts as a result of the relocation of the job centre on High Park Street. Letters seen by the ECHO last month from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), show that the centre and St John’s Market venue will close in March next year, with staff to be moved to a single location on Duke Street.
It is thought around 200 jobs would be impacted as a result. The letters were sent by Employment Minister Mims Davies to Liverpool Riverside MP Kim Johnson who expressed her concerns on the “significant long-term impact” on jobs in the area.
