Hurlstone's cut back on staff
Earthmoving contracting company Hurlstone's are reducing their work force by 11 men in a winter retrenchment. The company's general manager Lance Lamport said that some of these workers had been employed on a casual basis and had been aware of the seasonal nature of their work. He said that Hurlstone's share of the rail electrification project was slowing down for the winter and the big roading contract north of Raetihi was nearly finished.
Mr Lamport said that rumours that Hurlstone's were closing down completely were untrue. "The Ohakune branch is a very important part of our operation and we see ourselves very much identified with the community here," he said. Mr Lamport said that when summer came the company would begin winding up its operations again. Meantime several of Hurlstone's former employees have found other work and some are to work on Turoa Skifield.
