In an unsettling development, 125 employees at the Lindsey Oil Refinery have received redundancy notices after completing a 12-hour night shift. Reportedly, the manner in which this was done has garnered severe criticism, both from within and outside the company. The method entailed segregating workers into two different rooms to communicate the decision, a process which a Union representative has condemned as being harsh and compared to a ‘distasteful game show’. The refinery is a major source of employment in the area, and its manner of conducting these layoffs is now under scrutiny, causing widespread uncertainty among numerous families in Lincolnshire about their prospects.
