Unite reaction to 410 Lloyds job cuts

30 November 2009

Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer said: “Unite the union is astounded that Lloyds Banking Group has today decided to cut 410 customer contact jobs. This announcement will effectively mean the closure of a significant office in the Brighton region. The result of this plan is that in just three weeks 580 Lloyds employees have lost their jobs in this small geographical region of Brighton.

"Unite is alarmed about the consequence of this strategy by the Lloyds Banking Group, there have been in excess of 15,000 job losses announced since the formation of this organisation.”

    Whats going on !! Unite has its Public Service members in Ireland out on strike over PROPOSED wage cuts but 15000 redundancies later in Lloyds banking group (LBG) and not one working day has been lost. Working terms and conditions in LBG have been steadily eroded over the last year, job security has all but disapeared and all Unite can do is express astonishment and alarm. The staff in Brighton bear no responsibility for the Billions lost but must accept the full weight of the repercussions. How much longer will this be allowed to continue before a more beligerent attitude to LBGs slash and burn policys are faced down; another 15000 perhaps, when will the staff be given an oppertunity to voice their anger and disaproval.
