Lucara Goes Ahead With Retrenchments

• Invites employees to take voluntary separation packages
• Retrechment is confined to Lucara’s security department
• Says an organisational optimisation process rendered some positions redundant
• Retrenchment follows considerable back-and-forth with union

Lucara Botswana is going ahead with a retrenchment process alongside restructuring programme in its risk/security department that could result in an undisclosed number of its employees losing their jobs.

This is inspite of a recent statement from Botswana Mine Workers Union that it had acted “swiftly” to prevent retrenchment of 50 employees of Lucara.
