ANZ decision shows no commitment to NZ

“ANZ National’s decision to outsource up to 500 jobs shows no commitment to the New Zealand workforce and community,” Council of Trade Unions president Helen Kelly said today.

“Despite making huge profits out of New Zealand citizens, ANZ National is disregarding their skilled workforce and the community in favour of short term financial returns to shareholders.

“New Zealanders will quickly tire of large foreign owned banks who make multimillion dollar profits off the back of New Zealand but ditch their workers the moment there is a whiff of extra money to be made.”

“ANZ National can afford to keep these jobs in New Zealand. This decision shows no regard to the New Zealand workforce and community, and customers should take this into consideration when determining who they bank with.”

“The CTU is calling on customers of New Zealand companies to judge them by their commitment to this economy and their workers,” Helen Kelly said.
