Anglo Irish Bank and INBS

The wind-down of the Bank has started. The Bank's announcement that it intends to seek 350 redundancies worldwide - including 130 from the Republic - signifies the start of the process to wind down the merging entities of Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society.

Over the last three years staff from both Irish Nationwide and Anglo Irish Bank have been joining IBOA to secure professional representation and access to collective bargaining procedures and agreements. While IBOA has skilled professional staff supported by a wealth of specialist advisors, ultimately it is is the bargaining power of our membership that makes the crucial difference. This is aboutf numbers of members and their level of participation in the Union. And, this is in your hands.

IBOA is seeking to negotiate a strategic agreement with the Bank that ensures that the wind-down proceeds in a way that treats staff with the dignity and respect they deserve - whether they opt to leave in this initial phase of the restructuring or in the future.

Staff are not to blame for this crisis and deserve the best representation available. You can make this happen by joining the Union.
