BOI staff demand share of outsource deal

Bank of Ireland IT staff are threatening to strike unless they receive a share of the savings being wrought by the deal to outsource the bank’s IT functions.

Due diligence is being done on a deal to outsource the IT division to Hewlett Packard with all employees transferring to the computer giant.

Larry Broderick, general secretary of the Irish Bank Officials Association said yesterday staff affected by the deal wanted a percentage of the savings achieved by Bank of Ireland.
