Financial Services Union will oppose any compulsory redundancies in Danske Bank

The Financial Services Union (FSU) is disapointed at the announcement by Danske Bank of possible redundancies in the bank.

Today Danske Bank has announced a restructure within its risk operation which will impact thirty-one staff.

Commenting on the change Mandy La Combre, Senior Industrial Relations Officer with the FSU said:

“The FSU understands 31 staff will be directly impacted by these changes.

We will work with members affected to support them during this difficult period and will continue to meet with the Bank throughout this process to ensure all those impacted are supported through their individual circumstances.

We are meeting with the bank to ensure any potential job losses are  minimised, redeployment and upskilling is made available, and any redundancies will be voluntary. We will emphasise in those discussions the FSU are totally opposed to any compulsory redundancies.

This is a stressful time for staff who may be affected by this announcement and the FSU will arrange meetings for those affected to discuss the issue once all affected individuals have been informed by the Bank.”
