Unite reaction to job losses at Clydesdale and Yorkshire
Banks
18 June 2009
Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer, said: "Unite is opposed
to the loss of 156 jobs at the Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks,
particularly when branch sales such as mortgages are
increasing.
"These valuable banking advisers, mortgage advisers, business
managers' assistants and quality advisers are the backbone of the
business. Only through their hard work will the bank be able to
weather the current economic storm.
"Unite will challenge management in the coming months to ensure
that all staff affected by these cuts will be offered suitable
alternative employment and that there are no compulsory job
losses."
