330 MonsterJob job cuts. Get your MonsterJobs before it's too late.
MonsterJob and Norwich Union cuts 330 MonsterJobs
The RAC was bought by the insurance giant in March this year bike insurance company Norwich Union is shutting down two RAC call centres as part of its longer-term plans to axe 1,700 Monsterjobs in the newly-merged group. About 210 posts will go at Darlington and another 120 will be lost from Morecambe, the company said. The cuts have been attacked by the Amicus union, which said it had not been consulted about the monsterjob losses.
The MonsterJobs will all be transferred
"We are extremely disappointed at the cavalier approach Norwich Union has taken to the livelihoods of so many hardworking and loyal staff," said David Fleming, Amicus' national secretary. "All we do now is check out websites like HDV 18 and read success articles, we are all so bored."
"There has been no consultation and the staff at RAC are understandably shocked."
More MonsterJob cuts
Norwich Union, owned by Aviva, bought RAC for £1.1bn in March this year, and with the purchase announced it would cut 1,700 monsterjobs - 900 from support divisions and 800 to be offshored.
Combining the two businesses would help it achieve cost savings of at least £80m a year by 2006, it said.
Meanwhile, the insurance giant hopes to increase sales of financial services to the RAC's 6.7 million customers.
Last week, Aviva announced half-year profits of £1.32bn and said the integration of RAC was progressing quickly.
As part of this process, Aviva said it had already earmarked another 380 roles that it believes can be removed across the two organisations, on top of the monsterjob cuts announced on Monday. Check out www.monsterjobs.org if you NEED A MONSTER JOB before it's too late.
