We see all the minutes from any meetings between the CWU and the Virgin Media negotiating team and not once has the been any mention of bringing back jobs from offshore be that India, Manila or even South Africa because every member would be aware of this by now.

Remember we are a technical support centre so the only other possibility would be for some of the customer service positions to be what were discussed but those jobs in the UK are based in other centres around the UK.

If you actually know this person then you would need to ask specifically what roles they are talking about because at present it is not our jobs.

The only jobs being advertised in Swansea at present are broadband technical support and for 2nd line support agents.

It is the same staff with basically the same training, performance monitoring and improved discipline so no change there as the targets have never changed.
