Save NHS SBS Glasgow Staff From Redundancy

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Glasgow and Sheffield payroll offices bought over by NHS SBS in June 2015,6 months later on the 07Jan16 all Glasgow staff were placed at risk of redundancy, however they have claimed they will need to recruit in other offices based in Sheffield and Southampton to take on the Glasgow office workload.
We have not been provided with valid answers on the decision and said it was partly due to the fact they had no room for expansion in our office but they confirmed they did not review other office locations in Glasgow for us.The Glasgow office is being closed and our workload moved to Sheffield & Southampton offices.They have allowed us to continue hiring staff up to 4 weeks ago and we were even holding interviews the day before the announcement.

Why it was rejected
