STUBBORN DWP bosses have sparked strike action over their bizarre decision to “save” money in Garston, Liverpool, by closing offices and ferrying people out to another site at a cost of £610,000.
Civil service union PCS raised the alarm yesterday on “eye-watering” sums involved in proposals to shunt workers seven miles away to Bootle.
The union says bosses intend to splash cash on travel while ignoring cheaper proposals to move to a new office nearby.
PCS national officer Steve Cawkwell said: “It is staggering that the DWP plans to press ahead with this eye-wateringly expensive plan to ferry staff across Liverpool.”
Strikes are planned for December 22 and January 2.
