Shell plan to cut up to 9,000 jobs could result in 100s of fewer jobs in Canada

BY , Sep 30, 2020 9:37 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Hundreds of Canadian employees of Royal Dutch Shell could be affected by its plan revealed Wednesday to cut between 7,000 and 9,000 jobs worldwide by the end of 2022.

The company has 3,500 workers in Canada, accounting for about 4.2 per cent of its global workforce of about 83,000 employees, confirmed Shell Canada spokeswoman Tara Lemay.

If the cuts are made proportionately, they would result in between 294 and 378 fewer jobs in Canada.

"We do not have an exact figure because the details are still being worked out and we have never had a target to reduce a particular number of jobs," Lemay said in an email.

Shell's presence in Canada was reduced in 2017 when it sold most of its Alberta oilsands assets to Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
