Unite reaction to Barclays job losses
23 June 2009
Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer, said: "Unite is opposed
to the decision by Barclays today (Tuesday) to cut 190 staff from
its two centres in Liverpool. This represents a short-term approach
to savings by the bank, at a cost to the skills base and economy of
the local community.
"Unite is appalled that rather than realising the potential for
creating a centre of excellence in Liverpool, Barclays has simply
taken the easiest way out and chosen to shut the sites. The union
has questioned the logic of closing two productive centres.
"We are totally opposed to compulsory job losses and will be
meeting with our members over the coming days."
