Hertz has informed us that its goal is that no Dollar Thrifty Field employee will be affected by rental counter divestitures until late February 2013 at the earliest. The vast majority of employees will never be affected by divestitures at all.
|
·
|
Hertz has also informed us that its goal is to maintain operations and keep jobs in every market where Dollar Thrifty currently has rental counters on airport, although in a few cities Dollar Thrifty may have to move off-airport temporarily to satisfy federal regulatory requirements.
|
·
|
At this point, it is not possible to determine which locations will be affected. The specific DTG locations which the Federal Trade Commission is requiring Hertz to divest are not currently public information. For competitive and legal reasons, the process to divest those DTG airport locations will require very detailed steps.
|
·
|
During the divestiture process, teams who are responsible for IT, back office, HR, Finance and Operations will be communicated to in advance to plan for the divestiture and transition to the acquiring company.
|
·
|
Today, and for the immediate future, all employees at Dollar Thrifty locations are still DTG employees and an important part of servicing DTG customers.
