30 per cent of Holden workers show interest in redundancies Holden's factory in Elizabeth. MORE than a third of workers at Holden's Elizabeth plant have shown interest in taking a voluntary redundancy package, their union says. The Australian Worker's Union met with Holden bosses today to discuss the company's target to cut 400 jobs. Union state secretary John Camillo said about 750 of the factory's 2100 workers had filled in an expression of interest form. "Of that though, only 270 have signed a piece of paper to say they want to go," Mr Camillo said. Holden are now looking through those applications to see which of those skills they might need to keep and which of those 270 they can say yes to. Mr Camillo was previously concerned the plant might not get the 400 voluntary redundancies it was seeking because only 430 workers had shown interest as of last week. He was surprised by the high number considering a package but hoped it would mean no forced redundancies. "There's still a bit of uncertainty on the shop floor as people are concerned about job security and whether they'll be tapped on the shoulder, but hopefully we can have that sorted out in the next couple of weeks," Mr Camillo said. Holden still has a difficult few months ahead as it will depend on the sale of the VF, but hopefully it can turn a corner and look towards a long-term plan. Adelaidenow is seeking comment from Holden.
