Bank IT Staff refuse to train Indian successors

St George Bank staff have refused to train their Indian replacements and the same could happen at Qantas

St George Bank IT staff, annoyed at losing their jobs to India have refused to train their Indian replacements after being told last Tuesday they would assist training new staff through a buddy system.

The bank has told 80 of its workers that their jobs will be moved to India, but staff are not happy at having to train their replacements saying that they did not have any problem with their replacements but were upset with the bank asking them to do so.

Last week, Qantas Chairman Margaret Jackson’s told shareholders at the company’s Annual General Meeting that they had to sack the workers in order to remain competitive, with the Australian Services Union saying the move would put passengers’ security at risk, as IT deals with sensitive passenger and passport information.
