While yesterday's announcements by Credit Suisse, HSBC and Halfords should have only a limited impact in South Wales, an announcement is expected later this week on the future of 10 HMRC offices in Wales.
Among those likely to be affected are offices in Brecon, Bridgend, Merthyr and Pontypool (...EU Objective One areas).
In anticipation of this announcement PCS Regional Organiser Jeff Evans has written to Rhodri Morgan saying...
"“We urge WAG to do everything it can to press the case for the retention of these offices and to avert a potentially calamitous decision to close them.
Many of these offices are based in some of our most deprived communities.
The impact of the office closures will be felt more widely than the individuals employed there. It will also impact on local businesses and services at a difficult time.
It is perplexing that a UK Government department should be removing Government jobs from our poorest communities in contrast to your Government, which is doing the reverse.”
