British telecom incumbent BT has reported that at least 2,000 call centre jobs will be returned to the UK from India.



4,000 staff employed by third-party contractors of BT in India will lose their jobs, and the work will be absorbed by full-time BT employees in Britain.



In recent negotiations with BT, British unions have been putting pressure on the company to curb the effects of a plan to cut 20% of its workforce. Last year, BT cut 15,000 jobs and 15,000 more are scheduled to go this year. This move by the company will make some progress by retaining jobs for 2,000 to 2,750 UK workers.
