Eurocopter UK Engineers Walk Out?
These are as yet unconfirmed rumours but I have heard from two separate sources that the licensed engineers at ECUK are about to go on strike, or plan a walk out of some kind.
As far as i can gather this is in response to a planned change to their working routines and cut in their pay. I've always found the engineers to be very professional and hard working but my main concern is for the UK Police Forces that require ECUK engineers to attend call outs to their helicopters 24/7.
How will a period of no engineering cover effect us. Will we still get the same level of service if working routines are changed or engineers are getting paid less?
Can anyone shed some more light on this. Are there any ECUK engineers on this forum. Has anyone else heard anything about the reasons behind any action.
Your thoughts?
