TOWTEAMBASE is correct, if you worked for Servisair then you still work for Servisair until they change your contract, even if you business is branded as Swissport it is legally Servisair until they change the employee contracts, its the same with the customers they will be contracted to Servisair until their contracts are changed. I am sure Swissport have a plan for this although it does sound like they have not communicated it well to the staff by the sound of it.

Has TUPE law changed recently then to protect the employer rather than the employee? Because TUPE isn't happening at BRS either for everyone having to join servisair/swissport in a fortnight from menzies. Very trying times here at BRS at the moment!

Servisair / Swissport
It has to be a certain percentage of the work lost to be tupe, the Servisair/Swissport reason is because its shares bought rather than company bought as per the aviance buy out

I would think a very high percentage of Menzies work at Brs was with Easyjet, they do very little else. Who gets to make the decision when companies cannot agree? What a messed up start to 2014.

this might well be a discussion for a different thread as I feel I may be moving this off topic a bit but TOWTEAMBASE that is EXACTLY ehat is happening at BRS! Menzies are adamant that TUPE applies but Servisair will 'acknowledge the principles of TUPE' for only certain staff, such as Check-in agents and ramp agents, but not full TUPE.
Actually I will start this in a new thread because there are some questions I think will apply to other stations in the same situation as us here in BRS.

Servisair / Swissport
Lets put it like this, at STN, Swissport have taken German wings from them, possibly followed by Pegasus , that leaves them with not a great deal. So here at least, there is every chance that could happen.

DMS staff are still not getting told anything even though Servisair staff
have been welcomed to Swissport.
On DMS website the name flightcare muiltiservices will have to wait and see.

A "welcome to swissport" memo has been posted at BHX and question and answer sessions arranged for staff next week.
understand that the present swissport staff at BHX have been "ring fenced" and will all be transferred to the new buyer.
All servisair management/staff will remain in place.uniforms and rebranding slowtime ??

So what happens to the existing Swissport management if they dont fit in with the new companies structure or the new company bring in their own management team.
Lets be honest, the current swissport management team from DM upwards are not the brightest sparks are they.

There will be changes at all stations over the next few months, and tbh for the better.
If and its an if at this point SWP at BHX is to be sold off
, the key staff of the current SWP will not go to another GHA. The new SWP will make room for certain staff I am sure.

Aergid, think you are missing the point, the monopolies comission have agreed to the takeover "provided" that certain Swissport/Servisair stations are sold off and Swissport BHX are one of those .
Unless you are privy to some insider knowledge that something else is on the cards such as the "Dnata want to buy the present Servisair operation at BHX " rumour

Closing date for first round of non binding offers is this Friday, 17 Jan. Some looking at individual, some for all 3 stations. They will be reviewed next week before being invited or not invited in some cases to round 2..... Interesting times, I should imagine no one knows which way it will go. Rumours of a done deal with Dnata behind the scenes are or anyone else is The EU commission are watching this like a hawk....
