Workers laid off
PA Hamilton Seventy-five workers at A. and G. Price, Ltd, in Thames will be laid off when the Railways Corporation completes a contract for repairing waggons and locomotives at the foundry. The redundancies will be about a third of the company’s work-force.
The company’s manager, Mr John Wiseman, told a special staff meeting that —
it was confirmed that no more waggons or locomotives would go into the plant and this would mean that 75 people would lose their jobs. “We haven’t yet decided how, who, or anything. We will now be talking to your respective unions advising them formally and working it from there. “But I can assure you the painful process is not far away,” he said.
