Call On Migration Advisory
Committee And Home Office To Clampdown On Abuse Of Visas By BA And Tata
Consultancy Service
AS things stand members employed in the
IT department at British Airways are to be replaced with next spring with Indian
recruits flown into the UK on tier 2 visas says the GMB. GMB, the union for
staff at British Airways, commented on a report that Migration Advisory
Committee are pushing for a clampdown on visas for skilled workers from outside
the EU. See notes to editors for copy of report in Financial Times December 20,
2015 Mick Rix, GMB National officer, said:- "This clampdown on
abuses of the tier 2 visas is long overdue. As things stand GMB members employed
in the IT department at British Airways (BA) are to be replaced from next spring
with Indian recruits flown into the UK on tier 2 visas. This is after BA
outsources sections of its IT department to Tata Consultancy Services. GMB
understand that Tata intend to abuse the tier 2 visas to move their own staff
from India to replace our members. GMB intend to write to Sir David Metcalf
chairman of Migration Advisory Committee and the Home Office asking them to
clampdown on abuses by BA and Tata Consultancy Services."
