Philippine Airlines (PAL) has completed the controversial outsourcing of three subsidiary units. As of 1 October 2011, the national carrier’s ground services, catering and call centre reservations units switched management, and will no longer be operated by other the national carrier. The move has led to widespread dissatisfaction among members of the PAL Employees Association (PALEA), which staged wildcat strikes at Manila airport last week. PAL, which is facing continued disruption to its flight schedules following the industrial action, has defended the decision to outsource the units, despite the fact that the move has led to the loss of 2,400 jobs.
