Air New Zealand now does not want to take the course of outsourcing and has decided to go against the idea of outsourcing jobs to India believing that it would not meet their needs. Earlier the airlines was ready to forego around seventy finance jobs in the company so that it could save out around $NZ20 million by outsourcing these jobs. Earlier the company had plans to outsource jobs to Fiji but the political instability over there caused them to shift their plans to India.
The airline issued a statement:
We have now formed a view that India would not meet our requirements, so the outsourcing proposal has been withdrawn and this was communicated to staff earlier this week.
Fearing that they might lose their jobs the employees’ gave their node for changing the work conditions and SFWU Jill Ovens stated that this move was a nice step forward for the finance staff. It is being said that the airlines dropped its plans after facing difficulties in outsourcing work and government pressure. To me the latter reasoning looks correct though.
