Unite’s reaction to Barclays’ CEO comments on job cuts during results’ announcement

2 August 2011

Andy Case, Unite officer, said: “Unite is astounded that the Barclays chief executive, Bob Diamond, would today make these remarks regarding future job losses. It is not encouraging for his workforce to hear such throw away comments from their boss about their future job security. Unite will be seeking clarification from Barclays and insisting that the management reassure their workforce who continue to work hard to deliver the highest levels of standards to the customers of the bank.”
