Fiji Sugar and General Workers Union General Secretary Felix Anthony says they are very concerned in relation to reports that the review of the Fiji Sugar Corporation will result in job losses.
Anthony says there have been no discussions with them in relation to this review.
The new CEO of Fiji Sugar Corporation Graham Clark had told Fijivillage that they probably have too many people employed at FSC.
Anthony does not agree with this.
The FSC currently has a workforce of 1,239.
Clark had earlier told us that a major review of the FSC will begin soon and the possibility of job redundancies at FSC has not been ruled out.
Meanwhile, Sugar Ministry’s Permanent Secretary Yogesh Karan had mentioned earlier this year that the review of the FSC will result in job losses.
He had stated that they will have to right size the FSC.
According to the 2015 Annual Report, FSC recorded an operating loss of $31.7 million, compared to an operating profit of $6.9 million in 2014.
