as a telewest install tech the news yesterday came as a shock because it didnt give us any options as to our future. it was "you will be transffered to our outsource partners" (contractors) no chance of redundancy or a move somewhere else. this has been done because it wont cost ntl/telewest a single penny to get rid of its staff and if you dont like the move you can leave, not an option really as if you do will be intentionally unemployed and not able to claim any benefits from anywhere(government or insurance) so we have no choice but go along with it unless you have another job that is!
