If the company had turned around and said everyone has to move to Swansea or you will be out of a job with no redundancy package, then the would be a major issue as that would be unreasonable and lead to legal action against the company.

Please see my statement below.

Nonsense.

Statement Re: VM staff and eligibility to claim Jobseekers Allowance.
I was led to believe by post 66 that some members of staff would be "job matched". Unfortunately, many believe that I was provided with incorrect information.
I have spoken to contacts this morning at both VM and the DWP in order to clarify the situation.
The last thing staff need at this time is uncertainty or scaremongering due to misinformation.
I can now confirm that benefit sanctions will NOT be imposed on any member of the Albert Dock staff who face redundancy and fail to make attempts to secure a job in Swansea.
Additionally, there will be no penalties for those taking voluntary or involuntary redundancy.
All of the other usual regulations will need to be satisfied in order for benefit to be paid.
I trust that this now clarifies the position.
End of statement.

You might be aware of this, I don't know. But comments like that along with your tone in this thread come across as VERY patronising.

I am, and remain, very calm, it's the only way to deal with life changing events like this for the people involved.
Redundancy is not a pleasant time for anybody, including the management who have to break the sad news. I myself have had to be the bearer of bad news to valued members of our own staff who we have had to let go and yes, there were tears involved.
Let us all now move forward and appreciate the fact that there are many, many people worse off in the world and count our blessings
