More Swissport Redundancies
i particularly agree with TrashHauler's point about 'collective bargaining' . . Unionisation is NOT (despite what terrified Management and paranoid 'customer' airlines will have you think) about workers trying to get out of more and more work for more and more money . .its about recognising that some tasks need to be altered, some responsibilities expanded or changed and that pecuniary advantage in reward for that MUST be made. Scratching of mutual backs is absolutley the cornerstone of good industrial relations and all companies need to be talking BETWEEN each other to prevent abuse of staff (ie 'if you dont do it then XYZ will do for half the money . .and be GLAD of a job!') . . . staff being made to do more and more for less is fundamentally damaging to the industry. Good and eager staff are the only vital resource this industry has . . to have staff that actually give a damn is even better, all companies would do well not to discourage them.
