PCS Sets Month-Long Strike as DWP Warns Lincoln Staff Their Jobs Are at Risk

The department cites a shift to larger hubs for back-office roles.

Overview

  • PCS says more than 80 DWP posts at Lincoln City Hall are threatened by potential redundancies.
  • Union members plan to walk out from 1 December to 2 January in response to the warning letters.
  • A DWP notice told "at risk" employees they could lose jobs if no suitable alternative role or department is found.
  • The DWP says redeployment is the first priority and a voluntary redundancy scheme is open, with senior leaders promising support.
  • Union and local representatives condemn the handling and timing, saying staff want continued employment rather than payouts.
