Christian O'Connell's team are probably wise to follow their host over to Virgin Radio given those pending post-merger redundancies at Xfm owner GCap - with former Capital employees seemingly more likely to get the chop than those who previously worked for GWR.
Regarding those redundancies, broadcasting union Bectu has written to GCap bosses to ask for clarification on their downsizing plans. According to the Guardian, the union's letter asks GCap management just how many redundancies are proposed, how "meaningful" the company's consultation with staff will be, and whether staff are being told they are redundant without any consultation, contrary to Department of Trade and Industry rules.
Of course, GCap doesn't actually recognise any unions, so it is under no obligation to tell Bectu anything. With that in mind the union is issuing a leaflet for those likely to be affected by the radio conglom's plans, to ensure they get what the law promises them, especially if there are over 100 redundancies when the laws governing these things get stricter (what's the betting there'll be 99 job cuts?).
