Amber Valley Borough Council joins calls for Rolls Royce to reconsider job cuts

Published on Wednesday 27 May 2020

The growing calls for Rolls Royce to reconsider the huge job cuts announced this week, have been joined by Amber Valley Borough Council.


Leader of the Council, Councillor Chris Emmas-Williams, and Deputy Leader, Councillor Ben Bellamy, have sent a joint letter to Rolls Royce CEO, Warren East, urging the company to consider every possible alternative to job cuts to help protect Amber Valley residents working at Rolls Royce and the many supply chain companies based in the borough.

The letter states: "Rolls Royce is a company with a proud history in our area, and with the mutually beneficial arrangement of a supply chain and skills base built around the loyal and proud workers and businesses of Derby and the surrounding area. Simply put, there is a symbiotic relationship between the company and the people of Derbyshire, including very many people and supply chain companies in Amber Valley.

"It is therefore of some distress that we learned of Rolls Royce’s plans to make significant job cuts, citing the Corona Virus COVID-19 as the reason.

"We urge you to engage with Unite the Union in a constructive way, remembering that each individual who works for your company, collectively make up all that you have. Take a pause and a breath, and please consider not just the short-term share price, but the long-term cost of any rash decision that could cause damage beyond repair.

"It is your duty, as the custodian of this company, to protect the tradition and ’name’ and to make sure that you recognise its place in the economy and the heart of local people, and absolutely minimise any potential job losses."
