Story: Pilots may bring legal challenge against ID card plan
Contract of Employment
Where in the airside workers' contract of employment does it say they need an ID card to do their jobs? I wonder what would happen if they refused to comply with this and got the sack. They would not have breached any of their contract terms. I suspect their employers would be on an extremely sticky wicket with that one.
This is aside from the fact that the replacement of their existing security provisions with this dead end scheme would actually reduce the level of security in our airports, by toning down the vetting requirements for airside workers.
Do the Home Office and IPS not realise that the jig is up? Do they really believe that we take a blind bit of notice of their self serving pronouncements any more.
In a round about way, the rhetoric they keep spewing out about the ID card scheme and other stuff actually in and of itself reduces our level of security for the simple reason that more and more people simply no longer believe a single word they say. If they actually (possibly by accident) made a genuinely truthful announcement that needs to be actioned by the general public for our own good; these days we are simply going to scoff at them and walk away.
"Policy is Truth" only works inside your hallowed halls people, the rest of us know the difference.
