ABN Amro staff back independence

A slim majority (55%) of ABN Amro staff want the bank to continue as an independent company, according to a union poll.


Some 6,000 workers worldwide took part in the vote, organised by De Unie.
Around 39% of those polled backed a takeover by Barclays, with just 6% favouring a takeover by the consortium. The consortium, which has made a higher offer for the Dutch bank, wants to split up the group.
