Canadian perspective

It may not be as easy to carry out in those other countries because of employment law differences - good old UK workforce straight onto the chopping block first !!. All volunteers one pace forward ................
No doubt the other countries will be dealing with the situation in a similar manner ? anybody not in CHC UK/Ireland care to comment or are they
unaware/un-affected at this point ???



Yeah I'll comment from Vancouver, Canada
4 of the guys let go probably had 100 (being conservative) years experience between them.

I feel for my UK brothers. But its the same here in Canada.
All of the guys let go, were basically walked to the door monday morning and told to leave the building.

Their e-mails and ph.# were immediately cancelled.

I have never seen anything as brutal as this.

Seems like all the new hire Norwegians are safe though. Not one Norwegian let go, only the canadians.

Sad times ahead as morale in the Boundary Bay facility is at an all time low.
