SC.......
"working with you in our company"???

We should be so lucky. if Serco get the contract, many of us who provide valuable support to the ATCO's both operationally and non-operationally will be forced to seek new employment, or being forced to take swingeing pay cuts. The already under-pressure ATCO's will have to perform the support tasks themselves, which they need like a hole in the head.
We know what Serco are like when it comes to changing pay and conditions - here's an example:

Of course the Serco share price has increased fourfold over the last four years, due to fierce costcutting (staff) and low wages. You cannot combine hard profiteering with safety. The two are incompatible. Serco will cut corners to make a profit. We have seen it before.
I know a number of people who have worked for Serco in the UK, and none of them.. and i mean none.. has had a single good word to say about them.
For example:

You are not on the board of NIMBUS by any chance are you??
