Wightlink提议削减多达50个工作岗位,以降低成本,引起对安全和准入的关切。 Wightlink proposes up to 50 job cuts to cut costs, sparking safety and access concerns.

Wightlink, Wight 岛渡轮经营人,正在就因成本和通货膨胀上升而削减多达50个工作岗位的问题进行磋商,该公司称需要使运营现代化并提高效率。 Wightlink, the Isle of Wight ferry operator, is consulting on up to 50 job cuts amid rising costs and inflation, with the company citing the need to modernize operations and improve efficiency. 理事会领导人和RMT工会关切地表示,裁员可能威胁到重要轮渡服务的安全、可靠性和可负担性,特别是因为动态定价和船运量减少会引起准入问题。 Council leaders and the RMT union express concern that staff reductions could threaten safety, reliability, and affordability of vital ferry services, especially as dynamic pricing and reduced sailings raise access issues. 虽然 Wightlink 表示不会削减航班并旨在自愿改变，但官员们质疑该公司的商业模式，指出债务偿还率高且缺乏监管。 While Wightlink says no sailings will be cut and aims for voluntary changes, officials question the company’s business model, noting high debt repayments and lack of regulation. 其结果取决于协商,不能保证避免强制性裁员。 The outcome depends on the consultation, with no guarantees against compulsory redundancies.
