I worked for SERCO for about 2 years, some 13 years ago. There is no justification for any suggestion that their shop floor workers are anything less than competent, decent people.. .. .However, in my experience it would be fair to say that the ethos of the company's management was most undesireable and completely unsuitable for an organisation such as NATS. It is bad enough to expose the lives of the GA fraternity through the low cost, under-funded style that I experienced in the UK but to bring that ethos into NATS would be unimaginably dangerous and we were right to say so in the ballot. In my experience SERCO cut corners on safety and they always tried to stop me talking about it.. .. .I was relieved to leave them and I would be a worried man if they were to become involved with NATS.. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
