To the fantastic 2000 people your pain is AJs pay-packet gain.
They have no idea how much money will be saved,this is just another exercise in keeping the kpi's going for the right fighting execs that tell us they care about employees & their families.
The idea that no decision had been made & a bid by the in house team would be looked at is just another botched
pr stunt.
I guess there may be positions for some of the affected guys with the successful bidders but theres a couple of those bidders who need to be avoided as far as employers go.
As another post has said,lets see how the OTP works now as these contracted ground handling outfits work out firstly how to get experienced employees & then try & pay them the lowest possible rate.
So many long serving decent people been thrown on the scrap heap by self serving corporate greed,disgusting behaviour.
