Alexander Dennis, a UK-based bus and coach manufacturer, is facing potential job cuts after a furlough program for Scottish workers. The company plans to shut down the Falkirk site and convert the Larbert facility into a chassis assembly hub, retaining around 350 staff in Scotland. The move comes after a 26-week scheme funded by the Scottish Government, with Alexander Dennis criticizing UK and Scottish leaders for not supporting local manufacturers. Workers and unions are opposed to the cuts, citing the loss of skilled jobs in a community already struggling. Despite securing a deal for 123 electric buses through the Scottish fund, the company faces criticism for opting for cheaper Chinese buses. Talks with the Scottish Government over furlough terms continue, with the situation remaining uncertain.
