3000 Jobs in DWP go go
At a time when the Government is struggling to implement Universal Credit, DWP is due to shed 3000 jobs by voluntary exit schemes. While the job cuts will be problematic, especially for those who remain behind, all these redundant PCS members are of course eligible to join ARMS.
