Unite reaction to statement by Northern Rock
Chairman
2 November 2007
Graham Goddard, Unite Deputy General Secretary, says: "Unite the
Union is utterly appalled by the comments made by Bryan Sanderson.
Unite has previously had assurances from Northern Rock that
compulsory redundancies will be avoided. Vague comments such as
those expressed by the Chairman merely result in further insecurity
for the employees of the bank, at a time when they are already
under massive strain. On behalf of our members we will continue to
press the bank to protect interests of our members.
"The new Chairman has yet to meet with any staff representatives
of Northern Rock. We would urge him to think carefully before he
makes further comments about the future of staff and to sit down
and meet with the union."
