THE closure of a major call centre by gas giant Centrica is part of the “offshoring” of Scottish energy jobs to foreign countries, Scottish TUC delegates heard today.
Energy unions GMB and Unison raised the alarm over “hundreds of workers facing redundancy” at the City Park site in Glasgow. Unions said Centrica, which owns British Gas, was moving jobs at its smart home device arm Hive to other countries.
The motion decried a 44 per cent pay rise for Centrica chief executive Iain Conn, saying it had been “announced the same week as the closure of City Park.”
