Bypassblade Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 See link, it appears that these poor staff who, were part of DWP just a few months ago are to lose their jobs. They were sold off to private company who, is now looking to outsource to the continent, got to feel for these poor buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaati Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 SCCL/Steria are in talks with the Union. However Sheffield staff did get the news yesterday that the office is ear-marked for closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Oh joy of joy - another part of the DWP to be hived off to another French IT firm. Look what happened ATOS took over part of the functioning of the DWP, that was a rip roaring success:rolleyes: Yes I do feel sad for those members of staff that are to lose their jobs. I sometimes wished that those who make the decisions should have to be subject to things like Compulsory Competitive Tendering, outsoucing, performance related pay, league tables and the rest of it. I bet they'd turn their noses up at such a suggestion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsafan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Why can they not be transferred into the new company ? Is it because it is in France, and that French law do not allow TUPE to work ? Sneaky if this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky if this is the case. We were already TUPE into the new company (SCCL) from DWP in November. They are closing our office. There are no Steria/SSCL in Sheffield minus the one we are in now. Even we do not know for sure where our work is going (HR/Payroll for DWP staff). There are other buildings being kept open in England. We can guess, but I don't believe it is France. There could be job opportunities around the country and there could be a chance of some staff going back to Civil Service (which hasn't been reported in the news), but I know for sure I can't move. I have a commitment caring for my mother. I need to have a job in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleadly Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Public sector = Public Service Private sector = Profit above all else. They don't make a profit unless they have happy customers! They have to work damn hard to give good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
