DWP Dundee staff must be reassured over merger

Dundee West MP Chris Law has called on the DWP to offer reassurance to staff affected by their decision to close their Lindsay House office and move jobs to another existing site in the city.

Commenting, Dundee West MP Chris Law said: 
 
“The Department of Work and Pensions have serious questions to answer about this decision and the effect it will have on staff in our city. 

“I know from speaking to staff of the effect of years of stagnant wages coupled with increased workloads have had – they must be given real assurance that wages and terms and conditions will be maintained if not finally improved in this merger. 

“I also know of the heavy workloads that staff currently face as they deal with the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the spiralling Tory cost of living crisis, with this only predicted to get worse in the coming months. It is vital that staff are supported in this merger, with disruption minimised as much as possible.”
