Parent company CSL Behring is outsourcing departments-cost centers and divisions of the company to CapGemini and outright dropping other divisions. The need for shedding "costs" is not being explained, and the changes are being touted as a paralel move for those employees not losing their jobs. What this really translates to for the employees, however, is what CSL Plasma calls a three-R approach:
- R-etain (you keep your CSL Job)
- R-ebadge (CapGemini sucks you into their organization with no chance of salary reconsideration unless at their whim)
- R-educe (you are terminated without cause and given a minor severance)
The interesting thing about it all though, is that CSL Behring (the parent company) is rolling around in billions of dollars. Seems greedy that they would impose this offloading behavior onto CSL Plasma and that wonderful people whom have worked, in some cases 20+ years, for CSL Plasma, are losing their jobs or being subjected to early -retirement. For those employees being rebadged, CSL Plasma conveniently divulged their salary-info to CapGemini, removing ANY ability for those employees to re-negotiate a fair salary. That seems criminal, since CSL Plasma has a strict policy about NOT discussing salary/benefits with fellow employees. Yet, they pull the rug out from under the employees being rebadged by sharing the salary info with CaGemini(?) Sounds like the stuff of class action lawsuits to me.
