加拿大知名的输油管道公司Enbridge星期一宣布裁减雇员5%，以应对石油业目前面对的困难经营环境。被裁减的是在加拿大和美国的员工。5%的裁员额是相对于全公司的。这个比例意味着这个公司在加拿大和美国的共500名的现有员工被裁，还有100名待聘职位取消。Enbridge 商业交流部经理Graham White 称，这次裁员将波及公司所有部门。不过，Enbridge 否认这次裁员与加拿大新任总理特鲁多上星期五有关暂缓卑诗省北海岸建设原油库交通线项目有关。总部设在加拿大卡尔加里市的Enbridge公司表示，虽然Enbridge比其他一些石油行业公司抵抗石油价格暴跌和石油价格长期低迷的能力要强一些，但也会受到石油行业萧条的影响；为了保持公司的竞争力、并为将来的发展做好准备，Enbridge不得不采取目前的削减雇员的措施。Calgary-based pipeline company says reductions are in Canada, U.S.
Enbridge announced on Monday it's cutting five per cent of its workforce amid the energy sector downturn. (Dan Riedhulber/Reuters)Enbridge says it's cutting five per cent of its workforce — about 500 people and 100 unfilled positions — in Canada and the United States.The reductions are being made across the company, said a statement issued by Graham White, Enbridge's manager of business communications. "While Enbridge is more resilient to commodity price downturns than others, we're not immune," White said in the statement. "We're taking these actions to remain competitive, ensure we can continue to serve our stakeholders well and to further strengthen our foundation for the future." The Calgary-based pipeline giant said the cuts are not connected to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's call on Friday for a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic for B.C.'s North Coast. Trudeau outlined the directive in a mandate letter to Transport Minister Marc Garneau. The prime minister asked Garneau to formalize the agreement with three other ministries: Fisheries; Natural Resources; and Environment. The move sparked questions about what effect a moratorium would have on Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry bitumen from Alberta to Kitimat, B.C. The project was approved in June 2014 with 209 conditions. "Reductions are from all across the enterprise both in Canada and the U.S., and have nothing whatsoever to do with the government announcement on Friday regarding tanker bans," Enbridge said in Monday's statement. "All decisions were made prior to that announcement and Northern Gateway was not impacted by the reductions." Enbridge said "disciplined cost management" is central to its business model, adding that although the cuts are necessary, the "company is on very strong financial and strategic footing" and "will continue to grow." |
