Hi
In any other industry if a business carried out its functions in a multiple of locations, be it car production or whatever, and it decided to close its plants at sites 2, 3 and 4 but leave site 1 open, would it not be completely unfair / illegal to sack (or make redundant) a worker at site 1 in order to transfer someone in from one of the other sites just because he had worked for the company for less time?
My thoughts are with those with those facing an uncertain future in these difficult times. I hope that the 90 day notices are a worst case and that as things shake out the future will look a lot brighter.
Litebulbs,
The case you quote is only applicable with a merger. If BMI is kept separate and transfers to BA are offered on an individual basis then people can decide to accept or reject whatever is offered. I suspect many would accept a full BA offer even if this meant going to the bottom of the MSL. BMI would then quickly shrivel to a small rump and could then not be described as a
a major airline with its facilities, aircraft, routes and workforce.
