ANZ National sheds 100 jobs
Description / Introduction:
ANZ National has announced nearly 100 job cuts this week, most of which are the latest in the bank’s move to cut costs by offshoring work to Bangalore. Bank workers union Finsec (New Zealand) says the bank has also backed away from prior public commitments to provide all affected staff other work.

“These staff face an uncertain future in a shrinking job market. In the middle of a recession, our most profitable company is pulling the rug out from dozens more Kiwi workers,” said Andrew Campbell, Finsec Campaigns Director.
“ANZ National is displaying zero social responsibility in pursuit of maximum profits.”
“When ANZ National first announced its intention to offshore jobs they promised workers and the public that all staff could have another role. The bank is now backing away from their promise of a job for all when their workers most need that promise to be kept,” said Campbell.
“The bank’s assurances to their own staff were hollow words. How can customers or staff trust ANZ National when chasing billion dollar profits is put ahead of a fair deal for staff?”
Campbell said that ANZ National CEO Graham Hodges will be attending the government’s upcoming Jobs Summit and should use the opportunity of the summit to commit to protecting New Zealand jobs in his own bank.
“The best thing that Graham Hodges can do to support New Zealand jobs is to keep his current staff in work. We call on him to front up to the jobs summit and pledge to offer an alternative job to all staff affected by his offshoring.”
