adminalleged that since January 2012 their salaries had not been reviewed. They complained against the company’s inability to buy them safety clothing for their day to day work.
When The Herald visited 24 Douglas Road in Workington, the workers were seated outside the premises in protest.
The workers alleged that the company fired a good group human resources manager who used to listen to their grievances and replaced him with one who ignored their plight. The angry workers who preferred anonymity fearing victimisation said that the new group human resources manager always told them to vote wisely in order to get good salaries.
“We are highly disappointed because the company’s new human resources manager ignores our grievances. He does not want to discuss issues concerning our salaries.”
When contacted to comment the group human resources manager Mr Alex Nyakuni said he would not comment on the workers’ allegations.
“Those workers who told you that must have proof of what they are saying. I cannot comment on something without proof. The same workers who told you that should comment on the issue and not me.
“If they had grievances they should have brought them to management so that we could have addressed them. We can’t solve our company issues in the media,” he said.
