Workers at a Triumph factory in Nakhon Sawan came to work on Friday (July 31) to find a sign saying that all 800 of them had lost their jobs and that the factory will be closed for three months.
The company had fired more than 2,000 workers earlier in the year due to the negative effects of Covid-19.
The recently sacked workers marched to the Nakhon Sawan Provincial Labour Office for help, but officials asked them to file a complaint letter first.

Poor show when workers are treated in such a shabby way.
^ seems to be the new way now,hearing people in UK getting furloughed and then being told there contracts are changing, British airways I believe are screwing there employers with this.
As are many other companies.
Sign of the times.
Their
There is a world of difference between telling employers that their contracts are changing, and overnight locking doors & gates and placing a 'you're fired' sign on the front gate.Quote:

Do you honestly expect them to have to pay thousands of staff to do nothing?
You moron.
You do realise the Furlough scheme continues until October?
here's something from a Govt inquiry back in June
The transport select committee’s inquiry into the impact of the pandemic on the aviation sector has issued a harsh verdict against the airline, calling its attitude towards personnel a “national disgrace”.

3W contempt for the lower end, and won't be improving for a while.
'Their' and who are British Airways' employers?Quote:

It's like the twats from Icelandair, going on strike when there are 3,000 unemployed Wow employees who would give a kidney to get a job at the moment. (NB: They caved too).
And in both cases, the shareholders are not going to pump money in to prop up the airlines if they are squandering money on staff they don't need - which threatens every job in the company, and all the other companies that service it.
FYI - This is mainly concerning the Headlights Division of Triumph.

For you well educated teachers. Should Yaso have written 'Signs of the times', 'sign of the time' or is Yaso correct in how he worded it? :)Quote:

Plan ahead on things like payroll and cash flow, and if things are looking dire put a redudancy plan into place.Quote:

Unfortunately not all companies are that well managed. I remember when New zealand airlines bought out Ansett airlines and when Ansett went down the toilet, NZ Airlines left it to the Australian public to pay out the Ansett employees benefits.Quote:
