WONT undercut their mates to get the next rung up the ladder

Di, you must know different baggies from me . Seriously, most are okay but they have their butt kissers and grovellers same as any workplace.

I'm glad to see the TWU is looking after its airport members, because IMHO the advent of independent ground handling companies all chasing a buck and undercutting each other to do so has led to an erosion of ramp safety standards in the last five years.

When so many GHS companies quote so low that they can only afford one (semi) working tug and a couple of rusty old scissor lifts that were used to load the ark, and only half the guys they should be using to do turnarounds who receive as little training as possible (throw the things with handles into the thing with wings is about the limit at one of the larger independents here), something's got to give.
