Parking Ticket company NCP Services cancels Christmas ...


...bonuses for staff.

Today's Daily Mail reports on the story we covered here

Parking bosses cancel Christmas bonus for wardens... for fear of offence

Parking wardens have had their Christmas bonus axed to avoid upsetting non-Christian colleagues.
Bosses at NCP Services usually give staff a £25 Argos voucher for each year of service.
But this year the firm has decided it is "inappropriate" because some employees do not celebrate Christmas.

NCP operates a diverse range of services, including traffic wardens, for 31 councils across Britain.
Spokesman Tim Cowen said: "We employ people from more than 100 countries and feel it is perhaps no longer appropriate just to recognise Christmas celebrations."

He also said it could be seen as unacceptable for a transport firm to hold alcohol-fuelled parties.
Unions are furious at the move and are considering strike action.

Discrimination or what? I don't agree with bonuses in this area but call it a year end bonus or something. Must be having a bad year and cost saving on so many staff!!!
