Unite reaction to RBS Bristol site closure and another 440 job
losses
David Fleming, Unite national officer, said: “Unite has
expressed to the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) its frustration about
the bank’s decision to close its site in Bristol and also make
another 440 staff cuts from its customer support operations.
“The Aztec west site is the second site closure announced by RBS
in the south west, as the Plymouth site is also closing. These cuts
are part of the strategic review which RBS announced in September
2010 where 3,500 roles will be cut. Today, staff learn the reality
of what this means for them and their families.
“RBS must reconsider the closure of the Bristol site and find
alternative employment to prevent the devastation that this will
cause the local community.”
