Newcastle Building Society to make 150 job cuts
9 January 2009
David Isbell, Unite regional officer said: “Staff at Newcastle
Building Society will be devastated to hear the news of 150 job
cuts. Following the announcement by Nissan this ends a dark week
for workers across the North East.
“Unite has demanded a meeting with the Newcastle Building
Society in order to obtain clarification on the implications of
this decision. Staff now face a weekend of anxiety. The priority of
the union is to avoid any compulsory job losses.
“The staff at the Newcastle Building Society remain loyal to the
organisation and will continue to deliver a high level of service
to customers of this successful business. The society owes it to
their staff and their customers to ensure that they do not make
knee jerk decisions at the expense of the experienced and dedicated
workforce.”
