Otherwise, someone like you who is relatively senior looses their job while hypothetically, someone who joined last week, but at a different base keeps theirs.
Unfortunately that IS the case here, MAN & CWL staff are NOT at risk of redundancy regardless of their seniority to BHX/EMA crew.
Who decided this? Should there not have been a consultation period about this first?
We were told they are using the Teeside Closure as a precedent (where the Unions fought for it to only affect Teeside jobs) - I am sorry but that was different people, different circumstances and different economic situation!!
All that said IF (and it's a big if) it does come to compulsory redundancies then I hope that common sense prevails and it is done using LIFO as this is the only sensible and fair way to do it......
