OXFORD University Press (OUP) staff are to go on strike over plans to move nearly 50 roles to India, Unite said today.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham described the OUP’s offshoring plans as a “classic case of an employer prioritising greed over its hardworking staff.”

“It is an absolute disgrace that it has pushed through this decision and put our members’ jobs at risk,” she added.

More than 30 Unite members are to strike from September 1 to 11 over OUP’s decision to offshore the finance operations department to EXL Services.
