They're losing a perk that comes with working at ntl. Not a limb...

That's not how TUPE works I'm afraid-you should be a bit more informed before you make sweeping statements like that.

I know how TUPE works Neil, thank you. ntl have gone through the process on a large scale twice before, and did it properly then. I'm sure they'll do the same this time too.

In the meantime, you can leave you cloth where the sun doesn't shine, I don't need it and you of all people should know that.

It's very simple-because of ntl's failure to (properly) document an associates benefit (it is 100% ntl's fault & no one else's here), those people affected by the Fujitsu scenario now have to start paying for their TV/phone line etc.

Sound fair to you?
Yes, it is bloody fair!!!!

To start with, not every associate is on-net at ntl, therefore it CAN'T go into the t&c's otherwise there would be different t&c's all over the place which is bad practice for any company, let alone a company the size and diversity of ntls. It's not a failure to document at all. Why don't you wait and see until the deal is done before spouting off like this? Maybe other perks/benefits/discounts that could be available by working for Fujitsu instead could outweigh the loss of the associate package?

Quote:
Simple sum up-if ntl had documented it properly, then their affected staff would not be worse off.
As above, why don't you wait and see if they are going to be worse off first? Or is that just too reasonable and not anti-ntl enough for you to deal with?

Quote:
Surely even you can't defend ntl's obvious failure to document something properly that has now resulted in staff being financially worse off???

Again, as my two responses above.
