Description
The National Trust plans to cut 250 jobs from offices across the country. In a statement, the union Prospect, blamed the move on ‘needless penny pinching' and denounced the proposed cuts as a ‘kneejerk reaction'.
The National Trust is the country's largest non-government landowner and employs almost 4,000 full-time staff.
It said savings were needed to meet rising costs and hoped the cuts would be made by voluntary redundancy.
