British Gas Job Losses
The motion
That the Parliament understands with concern that 285 jobs are to be lost at the British Gas call centre at City Park in Glasgow; is further concerned that many more jobs across the country are in danger, with 4,000 losses planned across the business, including at eight out of its 13 call centres and 150 management jobs; supports calls from the GMB for the company to redeploy affected staff to other locations; urges it to be transparent on its plans for staff at its Scottish sites and to work with unions and the Scottish Government to safeguard jobs, and calls on British Gas to show its commitment to Scotland by keeping its workforce in the country.
