Although I'm sure the Kelly family know the position; however I'm sure that the new company wouldn't be giving free cups of tea to the carers of disabled people. Over time this incurs a cost which should be offset against the bid. But the main thing that they are forgetting is the value of the staff to the local community. I don't use the tea room but I'm horrified. This must be devastating for the people who run this business and the staff they employ. Yes we should all look at alternatives to cut costs but surely doesn't trawling through bids also cost lots of man hours to keep some pen pusher in a job; why aren't these people helping the workers who are already there instead of creating a climate of uncertainty and instability. I don't even go to this cafe, but I am furious. It's just another case of a bureaucrat sitting behind a desk with a stable wage putting people out of a job on the basis of pure costings with no thought of consequences.
