After getting over the shock of this i have read a letter which i recived with an imformation pack i quote " Following the recent announcement by steve burch concerning the outsourcing of certain areas of our operations id like to share with you our proposals for instalations. Following the completion of the merger at the begining of march installations was identified as an activity where the company could create a clear and consistant operational approach benefiting our customers, as well as achieving synergy savings by potentially transfering our remaining in-house operations to our outsourse partners. Therfore, allowing us over time, to meet our other key objectives of increasing effciency and growing revenues.

this bit concerns me. Subsequently, we carried out two seperate pieces of work to validate this approach. Firstly, the financial and strategic assumptions were tested. Secondly, we've worked with a small groupe of UNION and COLLEAGUE representatives to identify any alternative approaches that we may not have considered during the original planning process". So these people have been having meetings so will i be able to get the minutes of these so called meetings to see how they came to this conclusion.
