Barclays staff push back at plans to reduce work-from-home days
Unite union, which represents 36,000 Barclays staff, calls for a one-off payment to offset increased travel and childcare costs.
Thousands of Barclays staff are demanding concessions from the bank, including a one-off payment, after it said it wants employees to work from the office more often.
Staff who have been expected to work in the office for two days per week should be in the office for at least three days a week from next month, according to the bank.
Unite, which represents about 36,000 Barclays staff, is calling for the bank to reverse its decision. The union is also pressing for exemptions to offset increased travel and childcare costs.
The open letter, external says workers are delivering "strong financial results and improved customer services" with its current working from home policy.
