Our finance and IT sector message to
Labour:
Employment rights to protect
jobs from offshoring
The financial services sector in
the UK is under threat because of offshoring. Every day jobs are
being exported out of the UK to locations around the world.
Unite Amicus Section is demanding:
- that UK companies inform their customers that their details may
be accessed abroad;
- that companies inform customers of the measures they have
implemented to ensure their personal data is protected.
To help achieve this Unite Amicus
Section wants:
- job protection equal to those enjoyed by workers in
Europe;
- improved information and consultation in restructuring;
- improved redundancy pay;
- obligations on employers to provide a social plan as part of
major redundancy proposals.
Build affordable housing for
working people
Workers can no longer afford a modest
home in seven out of ten British towns. A major investment in a new
housing agenda is required, with local authorities able to build
the homes they need.
End the privatisation of
public services
Public service means access for all.
This requires financial and political investment. Privatisation
(including PFI/PPP) is fragmenting public services and not
delivering value for money.
