Calgary — Agrium Inc. denies that it has made a decision about laying off former Viterra Inc. employees in Canada. A union representing the employees claims Agrium is preparing to lay off as many as 100 of 116 employees of Agrium’s Crop Production Services (CPS) Canada operations in Regina. Agrium says many of the former Viterra employees will be offered jobs elsewhere within CPS. Agrium spokesman Richard Downey called the union’s assertion “bunk,” and said the union sent a letter with unsubstantiated claims to the local press. Agrium finalized its purchase of major Viterra assets last fall.
