To All DWP branches and GEC, The government is proposing to privatise Shared Services across the civil service and for arms length bodies.
Shared services include services, such as payroll. This means that as a civil servant, your personal details will be in the hands of the highest bidder and subject to the need for private profit rather than public service. This situation is made worse by the fact that the Cabinet Office has confirmed that there is a strong possibility that the work will be off-shored.
As part of the campaign to stop the privatisation, please go to the link here and send the pre written campaign email to your MP urging them to contact Francis Maude MP, Cabinet Office Minister, and challenge his plans.
Please do this from your personal email and ask your colleagues to do the same.
