Three members have volunteered to become union reps to help make AXA a better place to work in and assist their colleagues with any workplace issues:

Jason Anderson (Birmingham)

Neil Garner (Bristol AXA Tech)

Fred Butler (Ipswich)

Thanks to all for volunteering.

We are still looking for more reps in a number of sites, especially in Bristol and Basingstoke Wealth.

The TUC has welcomed Steve Webb’s announcement that he does not intend to change the law to make it easy for scheme to end RPI indexation where their rules require it. Read more about this here.

At the AXA European Works Council in Paris today, AXA President Henri de Castries was challenged over the quality of jobs being created within AXA in Western Europe and whether AXA was moving to a “McJobs” culture of low pay, low prestige roles driven by a cost cutting culture.

In response he stated that whilst there was a need for everyone to “accept flexibility” there was “no long term benefit to customers and we will not remain successful through poor quality jobs”.
