Enbridge cuts 5% of workforce
Enbridge is cutting five per cent of its workforce — about 500 people and 100 unfilled positions — in Canada and the United States, the Calgary-based pipeline company announced Monday.
The reductions are being made across the company, said a statement issued by Graham White, Enbridge's manager of business communications.
"While Enbridge is more resilient to commodity price downturns than others, we're not immune," White said in the statement.
"We're taking these actions to remain competitive, ensure we can continue to serve our stakeholders well and to further strengthen our foundation for the future."
Enbridge said the cuts are not connected to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's call on Friday for a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic for B.C.'s North Coast.
Trudeau outlined the directive in a mandate letter to Transport Minister Marc Garneau. The prime minister asked Garneau to formalize the agreement with three other ministries: Fisheries; Natural Resources; and Environment.
