16th October 2009 - Union reaction to Halifax Estate Agency Sale
Lloyds Banking Group’s (LBG) today announced that it plans to sell the Halifax Estate Agency business to LSL Property Services, leading to the closure of 121 banking counters, the transfer of 1,051 employees and the potential redundancy of a further 460.
Reacting to the announcement, Ged Nichols, General Secretary of Accord, said:
“We will be having early meetings with LSL to discuss their plans for the business and employees terms and conditions so that we can provide maximum support for Accord members who will be transferring to LSL’s employment.
We have also made our view clear to Lloyds Banking Group that the staff who currently work in the 121 estate agency offices with banking counters should have the opportunity to transfer to nearby bank branches. We believe that there is no need for compulsory redundancies.
Accord will be contacting all affected members today to offer advice, support and guidance.”
