Unite in LBG's response to the article in the Guardian last week

For an accessible version, please scroll to the bottom.

It’s deeply frustrating when any information is leaked to the media given the importance of staff finding out news in the right way with the right support mechanisms in place. 

Unite are consulted on any large scale change programmes on an embargoed basis – should there be any announcements it’s important that the appropriate Managers are pre-briefed so they can properly support those who are impacted by the changes when the details are announced.

We appreciate that speculation causes worry, we of course will provide advice and support to all members who are impacted when an announcement is made and will communicate accordingly.
