Good luck to all those involved on Monday. Any of you guys going to be TUPEd accross? If so stay on your current Menzies contract would be my advice. I remember being TUPEd accross from Servisair to Menzies everyone held onto their Servisair contract for as long as possible. I only had to go accross to a Menzies contract because I got promoted! 
orherwise I would have stoll been on a Servisair contract.
But best of luck for all you guys up in GLA on Monday.
You will all be fine. Granted its all the uncertainty of it all but you will all be fine.
Any questions please drop me a PM
Kind regards

As far as im led to believe, although i dont know the exact details, that none of the exsiting contracts are being honoured.
SMART have subcontracted all ramp and PSA roles to Ground Handling Solutions (i think thats the name) and have told everybody either take what they are offering or no job, as they are using some loophole that see TUPE not applicable to the situation. All the 40 hour per week contracts are being reduced to 25 hours per week, although they are being paid slightly more money.
All the back of house stuff is being subcontracted aswell.
Bascially once again the ground staff are being screwed.
Perhaps a strike right across the board country wide is required to see an end to the airlines ripping the proverbial from handling agent staff.
One of the most heavily regulated industries, yet staff are paid less than folk who make coffee for a living and seemingly have less rights too!!

There are full time positions, However not enough for everyone that is leaving menzies on f/t contracts. At the moment they don't know who will get f/t and who will have hours reduced.

I'm surprised they are offering full time positions.
At our station (not Smart, normal circusair) they've pretty much told us they want to get rid of all full timers and send everyone down to 4 hour / £20 shifts
