Lloyds bank axing 780 jobs says union

Around 780 full-time branch jobs are being axed at Lloyds Banking Group, trade union Unite has said.

The union previously called on Lloyds Banking Group to guarantee no compulsory redundancies and warned of plummeting staff morale after the bank announced plans to axe 6,000 roles while creating another 8,000 different jobs in 2018.

In recent years Lloyds has closed 500 branches and axed 50,000 jobs.

In 2018 Unite national officer Rob MacGregor said: "As the profits stack up for Lloyds, so does the uncertainty for loyal staff who work hard to serve customers."

He added: "Unite will be pressing Lloyds to guarantee no compulsory redundancies and ensuring that staff who move into new roles are given the support and skills that enable them to continue delivering the best possible customer service."
