I used to work for Swissport for 3 months and I am happy not to work any longer for them.
I call it "social dumping". Split shifts, temp contracts, no time to have lunch or break, etc.
To only benifit goes to the invest groups and shareholders

Re: Elections 2014: Wathelet wants less flights at BRU
Elections talks.
Now also Reynders wants to avoid flights over BRU capital.
As he is a frequent traveller, he should know that most of the flights turn to the right or the left at the "Noordrand" just to avoid BRU capital.

According to a spotter in BRU for the moment and met the police, it's ok to spot this afternoon but when Obama arrives this evening, spotting will be forbidden in the immediate perimeter of the airport, and we risk fines up to 250€... So making pictures at public places will be rewarded with a fine...
