Competition and costs affect IT services in the UK
The LTU says that 1300 Indian contractors have been flown to the UK to do the work of IT staff and claims that “many of those have been moving from project to project and have worked for the group for many months, if not years”.
The LTU has been trying to drum up support for its campaign to end the alleged practice for some months. The bank refutes the allegations and claims that the numbers of Indian staff flown to the UK are relatively small in number.
The issue has attracted renewed momentum following the recent announcement by the state-backed lender that it is to cut 5000 staff from the payroll, with IT bearing the brunt of the lay-offs.
The LTU claims that “at least one MP has received a letter from the UK Border Agency regarding the groups’s policy of replacing existing UK based IT-staff by non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationals”.
