Prudential staff in Reading to strike over Mumbai job plan

LONDON (Reuters) - Staff at a British regional office of insurer Prudential have voted to strike over plans to transfer 82 jobs to Mumbai, the Unite union said on Friday.

The vote for two one-day strikes in the annuity servicing department in Prudential's Reading office in the south of England follows previous industrial action over the jobs transfer.

A spokesman for Prudential said last month at least 30 UK employees had already found other roles in the company.

Prudential could not be immediately reached for comment on Friday.
