Well it had to come as they`ve out-sourced the primeminsterial job to America, they are know thinking about out-sourcing the civil service to overseas contracters.

The DWP in a frenzy of activity hacking away at its costs is considering plans to switch the work of the departments which deal with such as jobseekers, benefit claiments and pensions to overseas contractors.

The leaked document which gave details of `Offshoring Processes` came to light ahead of a strike this week by the DWP workers, in a protest at job cuts. Union leaders stated this showed complete contempt for the workforce.

No word yet has been given on how this will effect the recipients these departments work for. But given the DWP is good at hiding the news that unemployment wrose by 100 thousand last month it is worth considering whether they have intentions of exporting Jobseekers, Claiments & Pensioners.
