Statement In Response To Former Employee Action

Publication date

May 14, 2015

For Immediate Release

SAINT JOHN, NB — At Irving Oil we understand that our success is directly related to our relationships with our customers as well as with the people who work with us, and we work hard every day to earn their trust and support.

Unfortunately, we have a former employee who is having a disagreement with our company. We will vigorously defend this action as we have treated this employee fairly and respectfully, and we believe that his claim will be ultimately found to be without merit. As the matter is now before the courts, we are unable to comment further.
