Unemployment at all levels is not just a social ill it is an economic disaster so putting people on the economic scrap heap is not a price worth paying as we found out during the Thatcher years says GMB
170,582 posts are under threat at 318 local authorities in England, Wales and Scotland the latest round up by GMB public services union shows. When jobs under threat at local NHS bodies and other public bodies including, universities, the MOD and the Environment Agency (EA) as a result of the spending cuts are added to the numbers at the councils a total of 226,472 public sector jobs are under threat. The full list of councils and authorities and of NHS and other public bodies are set out in 'Notes to Editors' below.
In nearly all of the councils and public bodies a 90 day statutory consultation period is underway on how to deal with these job losses. Most councils have given notice that they plan to delete vacant posts and seek volunteers for early retirements and redundancy.
