Westminster Council Eviction Notice Sparks Strike Threat

More than 400 workers at Westminster City Council offices are

today threatening strike action after a shock announcement that

they are to be evicted from their offices. The staff were outsourced

by the council to a private company in 2002, and have been told

they must relocate to Dingwall in the far north of Scotland, or face

The staff work who in parking, licensing, community protection and

library services have been given notice to quit their offices and

Vertex is claiming there is no where else for them to go, at a price

they can afford in London.
