Leeds-Bradford: Jobs secured in bank call centre move
Around 150 finance jobs will be secured despite the transfer of call centre work from Leeds to Bradford.
The Communication Workers Union said there had been uncertainty over jobs at the Leeds office of Alliance & Leicester, where work is being transferred in the new year to Bradford.
National officer Nigel Cotgrove said an agreement with owner Santander would preserve jobs and offer financial assistance for additional travel costs.
"We are aware that this move will cause difficulties for some members and so we have ensured that the bank will be sympathetic to requests to change attendance patterns to deal with travel problems or caring
commitments.
"The bank will also pay additional travel costs for up to three years."
