The announcemnt of the proposed merger of Ornage and T-Mobile has understandably caused concerns to members employed by these organiations. On the CWU website Andy Kerr, CWU deputy general secretary says:
"There has been nervousness for some time in large T-Mobile call centres in Greenock, Merthyr and Docksford with months of rumours about the future of the company. If this proposed takeover of one mobile firm by a larger one goes ahead we think we will be looking at job losses and possibly site closures of both call centres and retail outlets in a rationalisation programme. Our main aim at this time is to protect workers from the inevitable drive for efficiencies which a takeover will bring. It is crucial that Orange makes commitments over job security and is honest with staff regarding the implications of this takeover. Staff motivation and retention will be key to a successful and smooth operation."
