Servisair have lost a contract to Aviance, and 15 members of staff will lose their jobs when it is transferred on 30 April.
Nick Corbel, the Transport and General Workers Union official, said that Aviance were not willing to take on the Servisair staff, and this gave the union cause for concern.
He said: ‘If this happened in the UK they would be protected by the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulation that protects the concerns of workers in takeovers and transfers.
‘But it has not been adopted by Employment and Social Security in the new employment laws coming into force in April.
‘This could not happen anywhere in the UK, and Aviance are a national company.
I don’t blame Aviance for this, although their attitude is appalling.
I blame the Jersey government.’
