First DWP Strike Dates Announced - Not In Scotland Yet............

6th December 2022

Our rolling programme of action across the UK will see members at 4 DWP offices take strike action on certain dates between 19 to 31 December as part of our strategy of targeted action, with the potential of more to come.

Our national strike ballot on pay, pensions, jobs and cuts to the Civil Service Compensation Scheme closed last month and we received a positive result for strike action in many areas of the civil service, including DWP.

The first DWP centres to strike are:

• Doncaster back of house

• Toxteth Jobcentre

• Liverpool Duke Street Jobcentre

• Liverpool City Jobcentre.

In DWP, 87.6% of members voted for strike action on a 50.4% turnout, above the required legal threshold of 50%.

The initial phase of our strike action is being targeted at areas that will have a significant impact on employers' operations and the government.

"For the days that you are on strike you will receive strike pay at your normal full rate of pay from PCS. Details of how to claim this will follow shortly."
