Lloyds Bank plans to send jobs Offshore
Lloyds the banking giant has come under attack after announcing plans to offshore 250 jobs of full time technology staff to India. Unite said the decision would also affect 195 contractors and temporary staff, describing the move as “unjustified”.
As of Lloyds “Information technology is the backbone of our business and by combining the diverse skills of our staff, with those of other companies in offshore we can provide the best possible service to our customers. We’ve announced that we will offshore up to 250 permanent IT roles, but we want to keep these staff so we’re guaranteeing them the offer of another job with the group.”
“Unite has an offshoring agreement with Lloyds TSB which states that the union will be consulted before any offshoring decisions are made and that there will be no compulsory redundancies. “We will be working to ensure that staff in the bank are offered suitable alternative employment and that their terms and conditions are protected.”
The job cuts will affect offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, Haywards Heath, Gloucester, Andover, Edinburgh and Brighton.
