Media Fuels Speculation on Job Cuts
Days after these comments, the Australian Business Review published speculation on a review of Westpac’s operations being undertaken by KPMG – with a view to cut costs and reduce headcount.
Westpac staff deserve to know where they stand and have certainty around job security.
The FSU has written to Brian Hartzer asking him to confirm or deny if there are any plans to cut jobs as part of any cost savings initiatives or review being undertaken of Westpac operations by KPMG.
The FSU is currently waiting for a response form Mr Hartzer. We are committed to working with our members and Westpac as our industry evolves, to ensure there are meaningful, secure highly skilled jobs at Westpac.
