A Lakewood city councilor is demanding information from PNC Bank regarding severance and rehiring for nearly 800 former First Bank employees. These employees lost their jobs following the bank's consolidation with PNC. The councilor wants assurances that affected workers will receive adequate severance packages and future employment opportunities. If satisfactory answers are not provided, the councilor plans to propose moving the city's 20 bank accounts. PNC Bank stated they retained customer-facing staff and rehired over 250 technology colleagues.
