ALL three JobCentres in the New Forest were open today after most of the staff rejected a national strike call.
About 100,000 civil servants across the country were expected to walk out this morning over a pay dispute. Only a few employees at the Ringwood JobCentre joined the stoppage, with most reporting for work.
A spokesman said none of the employees at the Hythe and Lymington JobCentres took part in the industrial action.
