The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) leaders will face confrontation from the finance union and bank staff regarding AI and offshoring plans.
At the bank's annual general meeting, where leaders will announce a $10 billion profit for the financial year, members of the Finance Sector Union (FSU) and CBA staff will express concerns over the AI push and its quick reversal.

According to the FSU, CBA India's headcount increased by 21% in the past financial year, and 138% since 2022, from 5,630 to 6,788 employees.
