Assistant General Secretary, Les Bayliss - a leading candidate in the forthcoming Unite General Secretary election - today issued a statement in support of members at Lloyds Group where staff cuts are expected to be as high as 4,500, following integration from the HBOS acquisition.
Les, while visiting Scotland, took the time to record his frustration and anger at the severity of the cuts stating:
“It is an outrage that banks such as Lloyds, who were saved by ordinary UK taxpayers can within one year turn on those very same people. I refuse to accept that Lloyds Group or any other employer can dismiss thousands of loyal and dedicated employees with impunity. The question has to be asked of the Government, whether it is prepared to stand aside and allow this type of behaviour towards workers to go unchallenged”.
The election for the new General Secretary of Unite opens on 25th October. Les is seeking the support of every member within the Finance Sector.
Yours fraternally
Les Bayliss
