Need to put "." on line above link....it has not come out.

Link works fine, unless you are one of the sad dinosaurs who still use the old style forum.

ROLLS-ROYCE faced accusations yesterday of outsourcing hundreds of high-tech engineering jobs “by the back door.”

The aerospace giant has announced it is to open a new engineering production site in Bangalore in India, with the creation of 500 jobs.

But at the same time it is carrying out a “global restructuring exercise” with the loss of 2,600 posts in Britain.

The Unite union said the company’s exercise had already led to the proposed closure of Rolls-Royce’s precision manufacturing facility in Derby and its turbine machining facility in Ansty, Warwickshire, with the union warning that Britain’s economy would suffer as a result.

The union accused the company of exporting jobs to India.

Unite regional officer Tony Tinley said: “The company’s global restructuring exercise is being used as cover to off-shore jobs via the back door.

“Today’s announcement will be good news for workers in India, but it will be viewed as a kick in the teeth by UK workers and apprentices who face an increasingly uncertain future.”
