Loram Response

10y

Loram does not condone or allow bullying, racism or any other types of intimidating or derogatory behavior or comments. If you have experienced this or know of someone else who has experienced this type of behavior against them, I strongly encourage you to report this to your machine superintendent. If you wish, you can report this anonymously via the WeCare hotline or to anyone at the Loram office. I personally guarantee your privacy and will insure that the matter is followed up on quickly.
