On Monday 17th March 2008 baggage handlers went to an electronic allocation of work via PDA type system.
The change required handlers to be accountable for every working minute they are at work. So no early "knocking off" whilst still on company time.
Speaking to a handler prior to the introduction, he was telling me to expect delays as the handlers are pi$$*d off with the new system.
I dont know if its the reason for these delays but it's possible.
