'So why again would employees trust existing management ?'. A very good question given that a few months ago, according to EI management, the end of the Aer Lingus world was nigh with a projected loss of 20M euro looming. Time to tighten belts, lay-off staff, reduce terms and conditions. Now they are reactivating a route they threw away, opening a new base and, according to the BBC news site, will return a profit for 2008. I think some very serious questions should be asked by the employees about the management competence to manage. The staff can't know whether they are coming or going - just like the management.
