Unite demand HSBC stop misleading staff and customers on job losses today
Unite has accused HSBC of “creative accountancy” with jobs as HSBC concedes that the true number of job cuts is in fact 2,900 as the union has rightly claimed, and not 1,200 as HSBC had originally claimed.
Derek Simpson, Unite Joint General Secretary, said: “As if it was not bad enough for staff of HSBC to hear from the media that their jobs are at risk, we now have a situation where the company is failing to come clean with the true extent of these cuts.
“This is creative accountancy with peoples’ jobs. Unite is furious that HSBC is misleading its staff and customers about the full extent of the devastation the announcement this morning will cause. HSBC is using cleaver accounting to mislead the public and staff about the number of jobs they intend to cut from the UK. Their approach today is totally disgraceful.”
