Bristow? TUPE obligations? You have got to be kidding. They wormed their way out of as many TUPE obligations on the former CHC SAR bases in the U.K. as soon as they could, in some cases via pressuring people to sign new contracts for various reasons. When they took over Humberside they did the same. Let’s not kid anyone into thinking any company’s management are better than the other. Middle managers and particularly HR depts are self serving and utterly ruthless. Besides as above TUPE does not apply. In fact if a contract has ended and a new one is beginning even at the same base it does not apply. But as shown where it should in such cases as NHV/Dancopter v CHC re Norwich Shell base it meant nothing and the crew were dumped out by both companies. Zero return for loyalty and service. It’s the world we’re in. Sorry to be negative but it’s the reality.
