29 March 2005 - HSBC could face a wave of damaging strikes across its UK branches and call centres beginning on 27 May after negotiations over a pay dispute failed.
Senior representatives of Amicus, Britain’s biggest private-sector union, from across HSBC have held a council of war to plan a series of one-day strikes, with the first one to fall on the day of HSBC’s annual shareholder meeting on 27 May. Michael Geoghegan, the head of HSBC’s UK arm has a problem. “Employees visit consumer watchdog website Household - HSBC Watch and read about bonuses and pay increases in the United States while the cleaning crew in London does not have a living wage” said the watchdog group.
