In a bid to protect employment at the Lindsey Oil Refinery, trade union representatives have suggested that the 125 workers at risk of redundancy be transferred to the furlough scheme. This measure serves to prolong their employment period, cushioning the blow of potential job losses. The refinery, situated close to North Killingholme, serves as a key employer within the area and cuts to the workforce could trigger widespread economic effect. The government has shown willingness to rigorously evaluate any proposals put forward to sustain the workforce during this difficult time.
