Papa lost his job in a mining company in 1986. He was 47. The price of copper then was so low, the company had to lay off a lot of its workers. So I'm surprised why today's employees would insist on job security when the business environment these days has changed so much since 1986. Nowadays, almost everything is sourced out! Security guards, janitorial services, catering services are just among those I know of. I don't think there's anything illegal with what PAL is doing. Airlines are some of the most vulnerable to changes in the business climate, so I think what it's doing is just to decrease its costs so it can post a profit. I know it's tough to lose one's job when you're past 40, but you'd have to find ways to become employeable, and anyway, they will be receiving a separation pay, so they're not exactly going home empty-handed.
