Don't know if anyone is following the Frontier/Republic/teamsters fiascoe in the news. But they are once again laying off more people. Not only did Republic move HQ and maint, forcing employees to "relocate" to keep jobs, THEN, they deside to return back to Denver, causing big heartache and up-rooting employees again. And what about the employees that had to quit and not follow the jobs? Another teamsters failure to keeping and protecting union jobs. If you want this kind of representation, then sign a crooks, I mean a teamsters card:
DENVER -- Frontier Airlines has told about 700 employees nationwide it will be outsourcing their jobs to other employers, which will affect all of its destinations except Denver International Airport.
About 60 percent of Frontier's airport stations are staffed by employees from other companies. Tuesday's announcement will impact gate, ticket counter and ramp employees at the remaining 28 locations.
"We need to take every reasonable measure to ensure the future stability and viability of our company and to keep our costs low for our customers," airline spokeswoman Kate O'Malley said in a statement Wednesday.
The low-cost carrier has recently been through bankruptcy, relocated its headquarters back to Denver from Indianapolis and instituted a new policy penalizing customers who do not book their flights on the airline's website.
Outsourcing jobs will not compromise customer service, O'Malley said. The other employees will receive the same Frontier training as current employees, she said.
Frontier will also work with the other companies to help their employees apply for their jobs with a new employer, the Denver Post reported.
There was no immediate reaction from employees or their representatives
