This is my latest conspiracy theory regarding the redundancies at FLS.
FLS has been instructed by a prospective purchaser that the sale will go ahead if the workforce (and their associated terms and conditions) are terminated. Once the workforce is down to the bare bones, the prospective purchaser steps in and acquires the facility. It then advertises vacancies for the positions recently desposed of by the previous owner, on reduced terms and conditions.
The only problem is that they will then have a load of Shinies on the same contracts as before, as well as a number of retained employers from the previous company. Are these then the redundancies of the fabled "Phase II"??
IMHO!!!
I wonder if Dublin will demand another 30% payrise now they have this increased workload??
