Lloyds Banking Group announces 400 job losses with further jobs at
risk
21st January 2010
The Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) has announced 400 job losses and
said that a further 185 jobs could be cut.
The news comes as Unite warns the LBG not to repeat the
disastrous strategies of 2009 which brought over 15,500 job
losses.
Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer, said: “Unite is deeply
disappointed that the Lloyds Banking Group has taken the decision
to close all of the Black Horse centres with the loss of 400 jobs.
At a time when many families are struggling to control their
finances and businesses need access to credit, Unite is opposed to
the shutting down of these valued local centres.
“Unite is warning the LBG not to repeat its approach in 2009
where staff faced death by a thousand cuts as weekly announcements
of job losses were made. The strategy last year has had a
devastating effect on staff and created job insecurity for most
colleagues.”
Unite is seeking redeployment opportunities for all those who
are impacted by the announcement today.
The areas impacted by the organisational changes are the retail
and wholesale businesses.
