1000 jobs may go at North Lanarkshire Council.

North Lanarkshire Council is set to discuss ways of saving £70m over the next three years and this might mean cutting up to 1000 jobs from Scotland's largest local authorities.  The authority said it hoped to make the bulk of post reductions through natural turnover, early retirements and voluntary redundancies. But if this target cannot be achieved, the council said it may have to consider compulsory redundancies.

Possible Job Losses = 1000
