RBS To Offshore 58 UK Customer Service Jobs
RBS is still addicted to offshoring UK banking jobs, according to Unite the union, following the announcement that 58 customer service jobs are earmarked to go abroad.
Unite condemned the latest restructuring exercise which will adversely hit staff working in wealth payments in London and lending operations in Manchester.
Unite national officer for finance Rob MacGregor said: "In a nutshell, the bank's plan, which Unite opposes, is to offshore the non-client-facing work done at Aldgate Union.
"The effect is to displace 30 roles, placing 58 individuals at risk of redundancy - RBS seems addicted to offshoring jobs."
Since the bank was bailed out by the taxpayer in 2008 over 30,000 jobs have gone across the group in the UK – and Unite has waged a relentless campaign to stop the unceasing drift of jobs abroad and for a 'no compulsory' redundancies policy.
