Firstly, the catering company didn't lay people off, they fired
them.

Not on a whim I'll wager.

Secondly you have to realise that the ground staff at an airport
are a bit like a village. They all know each other and are a
pretty close knit community. When a big part of your community
gets fired, you get mad.

Why? If someone gets fired, it is because they are not any use to
the business any longer.

Ok, but of that was the case, why is the company saying that they're
willing to re-hire most of the sacked workers? Either they "weren't of
any use" or they were of use; take your pick.

If the business is saying "The employees weren't of use yesterday -- so
we sacked them -- but, hang on: they're of use today, so we better re-
hire them", well that's a bloody incompetent way to run a business.
