Irving Oil lays off 60 workers from Saint John refinery, citing collapse in demand by The Canadian Press Last Updated Jan 21, 2021 at 4:44 pm EDT SAINT JOHN, N.B. Irving Oil has laid off 60 workers from its Saint John refinery, saying the pandemic has had an “extreme and serious” impact on its business and industry. The company says it also reduced its contractor workforce to 225 workers from its average first-quarter workforce of about 1,000 earlier this year.  Irving Oil says the collapse in demand for motor fuels, jet fuel and other refined products continues to create prolonged and significant challenges.  In addition, it says extreme market volatility, serious negative impacts on refining margins and high levels of uncertainty about the depth and duration of the downturn have forced the company to make operational changes.
