Westpac Takeover of St George


The news that Westpac and St.George are in takeover talks is a rude awakening for employees and consumers alike.

A takeover, if allowed to proceed, would see thousands of jobs placed under threat as the new entity looks to leverage savings through eradicating duplication. Ultimately cost savings are made by cutting staff, branch closures and rationalisation of back office services.
