Fed: Telephone banking services not disrupted, says Westpac
Westpac says lunch-time stopwork meetings by staff in Sydney and Melbourne haven'tdisrupted telephone banking services.
The Finance Sector Union organised the stopwork meetings to protest against Westpac'splan to relocate call centres in Melbourne and Sydney to lower-cost operations in Brisbane,Launceston and Perth.
The union has estimated the relocations, announced in October, will cost 600 jobs.
A Westpac spokeswoman says the relocations, which are not due to happen for another18 months, won't result in the massive job losses predicted by the union.
The spokeswoman says the stopwork barbecues didn't affect bank services.
