Barclays is axing 422 jobs as it makes "essential changes" to its technology and infrastructure division.
Barclays Technology has said it will attempt to redeploy staff and limit compulsory redundancies.
David Fleming, Unite national officer, comments: “The decision by Barclays Technology to cut 422 jobs is a new year’s blow for the staff. Unite has strongly opposed the sending of some of this work to Lithuania, when there are already highly trained workers carrying out this work. The vast majority of jobs will be going from Radbrooke Hall, Cheshire. There will also be jobs cut in Northampton and a scattering among other sites around the country.”
