The TSB has no union representation; the problem with the transfer is that NTL transfers the contacts to IBM who on the same day transfers the contracts to manpower. While contracts remain intact they will be with Manpower and not IBM, Manpower are responsible for supplying numbers but I would imagine the numbers would be up to IBM.
If IBM say they want to cut numbers by 50 I would imagine that Manpower will just make staff redundant... probably at the lowest payout possible.

As far as I am concerned employment agencies are used so that staffing levels can be manipulated without any unfortunate complicationsÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬ Å¡Ã‚Â¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¦ like redundancy payouts etc.

Hope I am wrong, but I doubt it!
