Royal Bank of Scotland was accused yesterday of “addiction” to offshoring jobs after it was revealed that 58 more British jobs were set to go abroad.
Banking union Unite -condemned the latest restructuring exercise, saying it would adversely hit staff working in wealth payments in London and lending in Manchester.
“In a nutshell, the bank’s plan, which Unite opposes, is to offshore the non-client-facing work done at Aldgate Union,” said Unite national officer for finance Rob MacGregor.
“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 RBS jobs have disappeared across Britain.
Last week, Unite slammed the decision by to axe 156 jobs at RBS International, reminding bosses that, after a massive injection of taxpayers’ money to survive the banking crisis, the bank had “a moral duty” to maintain levels of employment.
