No one is being offered a job in Swansea so most of any prior posts about work being offered to people in the Albert Dock are pretty pointless as it is not true.
So unless you were free and single and did not mind the prospect of moving possibly up to 250 miles away from home for less money and quite dissimilar hours and the upheaval involved in relocating to an area of the country that you do not know, with the likelihood of it being move fated to fail why would you bother to even contemplate such a move in the first place.
I doubt anyone with a family or a mortgage would consider such a move.
We are getting help with our CV's and interviews about the possibility of getting jobs nearer to home which in reality is what we really want.
So I and every other person affected by this closure would appreciate no more posts about relocating to Swansea as it is in reality just smoke and mirrors, and the sooner we have closure with regards an actual date to leave the better as far as I am concerned as I for one do not want to be switching the lights off.

I too had hoped that the incorrect belief that some members of staff were being slotted into jobs in Swansea had been put to bed, I was just responding to the query made by Nopanic as s/he was a little confused.
I accept, as I always have, that relocation may not be right for everybody (that's what I meant by "if appropriate" in my last post.) and, as it has been confirmed that there will be no benefit sanctions for those who choose not to apply to Swansea, who don't manage to find alternative employment, it is now a moot point in any case.
I'm glad that help is being offered to affected staff to try and get a job nearer home and wish you and everybody else good luck.
