Barclays Staff Resist Plan to Cut Work-From-Home Days
Unite union, representing 36,000 Barclays employees, demands compensation for increased travel and childcare costs tied to reduced remote work.
Barclays employees are pushing back against the bank's plans to reduce the number of days staff can work from home, according to a report by BBC Business.
The Unite union, which represents 36,000 Barclays staff, has called on the bank to provide a one-off payment to offset the increased travel and childcare costs that employees say they will face as a result of the changes.
Details of the specific reduction in remote working days, as well as Barclays' response to the union's demands, were not immediately available.
The dispute reflects broader tensions across the financial sector, where several major employers have sought to bring staff back to offices more frequently in recent years, prompting pushback from workers who have grown accustomed to hybrid working arrangements.
