Description
National Australia Bank (NAB), who own Yorkshire and Clydesdale banks, has announced 130 job cuts as it closes its wealth business in the UK. The job cuts are part of the 1,400 job losses announced by the bank in April 2012 and previously reported (please see here). Trade union Unite has labeled the job cuts cruel as they follow months of training for staff to help them to comply with new legislative requirements which meant that they had hoped that their jobs were safe.
