Back in the 90s the old PLC Handling services was restructured.
That's the posh name for shafting. After a good shafting Ringway Handling was born....A stand alone baggage company, not to be assisted by the parent. Or not to be seen to be helped. After a few years of making a steady profit in moved the pen pushers... and penny scrimpers. Ringway was always seen to be the best payers on the patch. Till they RESTRUCTURED again.
Just a posh name for shafting Mk2... Chopped the rates down yet again. plus a 5year pay freeze, run the equipment into the ground,
Now 2004 what do they need to do RESTRUCTURE.
Thats Mk3... Try to get a 18month pay freeze. Take some Leave of the work-force and try to reduce there sick pay. The pen pushers say that its costing a lot of DOSH these sick levels... Not that they want to admit that they are causing the problem in the first place... I mean less bodys on a plane = accidents. But hey if we dont agree to change then we might as well FEED THE DUCKS
Then you have the Contract Managers ..... These fine bodys are paid to go around supping Tea & Coffee. Plus powder there noses. seems every time they try to do something they just F@ck it up.
Seems people were told that Swissport were not a threat...
Not in my book there not . Just go out there and check all of that nice shiny Equipment that they have ....
They seem to have far more than they need... Watch out there Mr No Dosh or we will all be FEEDING THE DUCKS.
So says the Slug
