Roster changes leave some Fortescue workers out of jobs

Iron-ore miner Fortescue Metals has confirmed redundancies at its Cloudbreak operation, in Western Australia, after reports emerged that the company had sacked a number of truck drivers. In April this year, the iron-ore major announced an organisational review, which resulted in a change in work rosters across the company’s operations, to bring those in line with standard rosters worked in the Pilbara.
