I do not agree at all. I think that a company should be able to keep its employees without having to force them. Besides, what kind of an asset is a disgruntled employee only willing to leave, and maybe mad at the fact he cannot join the company he'd rather be with. Can you imagine the atmosphere, and the fumes going around the galleys? Have witnessed that already with pilots, and I think it's not in a company's interest to chain someone who doesn't want to stay. Heck, in UK you don't even have the C/A licence like in other European countries, so what does the expense for the company may sum to? And I know for sure most of the UK companies "recicle" uniforms, so again what's the expense? I hope that people will turn down this kind of contracts. We are making our own chains by accepting this kind of constrictions.
And if your argument that there are more applicant than jobs were really true tightslot , why then would companies have to force people into staying?
