GAGGING AVENTAS EMPLOYEES
Quinn workers are now threatened with “summary dismissal” if they express their displeasure with what is happening at their place of work. After a school-like outline of the facts relating to social media- its advantages and disadvantages- they are warned about releasing “confidential information about our company”. This is a joke when we recall how Paul O Brien gave so much information to the Lagan Group last year and then again to CEVA staff a short time ago and let them walk off with this information.
Staff are now being threatened, even when using their own equipment at home in their own time. “Any employee SUSPECTED” – of breaching company rules may have to hand over login and password information to the company. Surely this is an infringement of basic rights. At school many of us read “Animal Farm” and today’s memo and policy smacks very strongly of the dictators satirised there; especially as certain managers have accused individuals of offending them on the internet. (Individuals who don’t even use a computer). Does this policy give dictators a further excuse to get rid of staff who have high expectations of their work place? People who remember what it was like in Quinn’s time when the managers, now involved in QBRC, were in situ. Or those who the current management team just don't particularly like.
It is important that staff have the courage to stand up for their rights and refuse to let modern day dictator, Paul O'Brien, intimidate them into giving up their basic rights. And remember if Paul O Brien is spreading lies that QBRC have withdrawn their proposal, it is just that—ANOTHERE LIE.
