Further to a statement announced earlier today by Wightlink, which will see a reduction in the number of overnight crossings, night crew are today being offered voluntary redundancy.
The company says, “As a result of the timetable changes, the company will need fewer staff and so, in full consultation with the unions, is inviting volunteers for redundancy.
“Wightlink is not intending to run a compulsory redundancy programme and members of the night crew who do not wish to volunteer for redundancy will be transferred to day time working or other routes.
“Volunteers are also being invited from across the company so that other areas of potential efficiency can be identified.”
