Unite call for stability at Northern Rock ahead of
results tomorrow
9 March 2010
Rob MacGregor, Unite national officer: “The financial results of
Northern Rock will illustrate a company on the right road for a
gradual recovery. Unite is demanding that management now give the
workforce a commitment about the security of their jobs.
After the turbulence of the last yew years this is now well
overdue.
“The chief executive must now focus on creating stability and
protecting the remaining employees, for the long term interest of
the organisation. For too long the staff have been on the bottom of
the pile, but it is their hard-work and dedication which has kept
Northern Rock afloat.
“As the largest private sector employer in the North-East
workers in Northern Rock have coped with over two and a half years
of change and seen the loss of thousands of colleagues. Remaining
staff now need clarity in order to go on building a strong future
for the organisation which they all remain committed too.”
Before the financial crisis Northern Rock employed 6,500 staff
across the country and there now remain only 4,500 staff.
