Lafarge Cement rules out compulsory redundancy if transport fleet is removed

Lafarge Cement has ruled out compulsory redundancy if it removes its transport fleet at the company’s Cauldon works in the UK, according to local press reports.

Concerns have been raised that the Cauldon Works is to dispose of its transport fleet, which comprises around 30 drivers and 20 lorries, and contract the work out.

However, a spokeswoman for Lafarge Cement in Cauldon said no decision had been made, but she ruled out any compulsory redundancies. A statement issued to the Post & Times said: "As a business we are constantly looking at ways to improve the services we provide to our customers, and as such we review all of our operations on a regular basis.

"No decision has been made as yet, but none of the options we are considering would involve compulsory redundancy for any of our employees." (Source: The Leek Post & TImes)
