The Australia and New Zealand Banking group has committed money to re-skill its employees affected by offshoring jobs to the technology and operations centre in Bangalore, India.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia subsidiary Bankwest today confirmed it would cut at least "a handful" of IT staff as part of a wider cull that has also seen the bank refrain from hiring an additional 50 IT contractors over the past few months.
The National Australia Bank yesterday met union representatives to discuss the future of IT staff who might still be needed at the bank following its decision to suspend work with Indian IT outsourcer Satyam.
The Finance Sector Union has raised the spectre of industrial action over Westpac's proposal to rationalise its call centre operations, alleging staff at existing centres in Melbourne and Sydney may lose their jobs or be forced to move interstate.
The Commonwealth Bank is returning to court to defend breach of contract claims made by ex-workers, after the Financial Sector Union instructed its lawyers to proceed with Federal Court action last week.
