Apparently that is exactly what is happening right now. The employees are doing exactly the hours that their contract requires, and not a minute more. When they still were directly employed by AY, they had an incentive to sometimes work more than they were paid for, for the good of their company. That incentive is now gone, and we all suffer for this mistake by AY.
I think that the only sensible way out of this situation would be to cancel the deal with Barona, and take the package handlers back to AY. I wouldn't count on this happening though, since that would require that the AY management actually admits being wrong with the outsourcing deal in the first place.
