The catering firm has been in a situation where it hasn't made a profit
since 2000 and its revenues have fallen 35% since 2001. Faced with the
reality of that, there is no other option than to find ways to restructure

Except by charging more for their services and paying a reasonable living wage
out of that. They accepted an impossible contract believing they could bully a
subservient and impotent workforce into taking all the strain of the too low
prices. It didn't work out as planned.
