| 12/08/05: ITF Press Release - WORKERS WORLDWIDE BACK THEIR HEATHROW COLLEAGUES |
Dear Colleagues
The airline caterer Gate Gourmet has sacked nearly eight hundred catering workers at London's Heathrow Airport. The Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) accused the company of designing and manufacturing the situation. The union made it clear that the flashpoint issue – the hiring of 130 seasonal workers – was a provocative move because never before had such extra staff been taken on while permanent staff were under threat of redundancy.
TGWU leaders warned that the mediation process to find a way forward to resolve the company’s financial difficulties had been put under serious threat by the company’s provocative actions. In addition the company had failed to share any pain with management grades, which has led to the failure of a planned rescue package.
Union officers said that the company had planned every move in advance with the letters sacking workers pre-prepared, hiring an outside security company, and alerting the police, who turned up in significant numbers to deal with a workforce with a substantial number of women workers.
