INVERCLYDE has been hit with more jobs misery with the prospect of multiple redundancies at the RBS Mortgage Centre.
SNP MP Ronnie Cowan has been told that the positions of up to 30 people are at risk at the facility.
The news comes in the wake of the recent announcement that mobile phone giant EE is pulling 450 jobs out of the district.

Cowan told the Greenock Telegraph that he will do "everything possible" to support workers who could be made redundant.
It is understood that the bank has promised to "redeploy where possible" and look to mitigate the impact through voluntary redundancies.
RBS employs around 1000 people at its Greenock Mortgage Centre, with around 90 per cent living in Inverclyde.
The National has contacted RBS for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
