I had to pay £5,000 for ambulances in France after an accident. I was only in their care for one afternoon, the EU health card does not cover everything!
I pay Spanish social security, which gives me access to their version of the NHS - but that doesn't cover me (or any Spaniard) if I need to be helicoptered off a mountain. So I very much doubt that the EU health card would, either. So get insurance.
My SIL has worked for them for almost 20 yrs. What they dont report is that staff are having to pay for themselves to get home. They are not included in the repatriation and she has friends trying to get flights from the US and being quoted opportunistic costs for flights and hotel rooms. Absolutely appalling.

We too pay Spanish taxes and being in Cataluña, we get Catsalut medical cover. MrsPB had a mountainbike otb on a remote trail and broke her collarbone, her friend phoned the ambulance and due to her position up a goat track, the Bombers arrived with a 4x4 and stretchered her to that then on to the ambulance to hospital. Several x rays, pain relief, etc etc, total cost nowt.
total cost nowt.
Depends on the Autonomous Community, but I wouldn't bank on being covered if you have an accident up a mountain somewhere outside of Cataluña. And even less so if all you have is an EU health card.
Edit: more here if you fancy a bit of light legal Spanish reading: https://www.desnivel.com/cultura/el-cobro-de-los-rescates-en-montana-ya-tiene-sentencia/

and some staff (still in uniform) are helping to organise the repatriation flights.
No redundancy payout
They will be paid; to statutory levels. Same as anyone else who works for a company that goes bust.
I was on a business trip when the co. I worked for went bust. I had to pay for my own hotel and travel home.
It wasn't on the news, though.
All's well that ends well:

I must admit, I thought the physical shops *were* the problem. I guess someone else knows better!
They've bought them all, doesn't mean they're going to keep them all
Good news about the Hayes buy up. Of course they will have got a very very good deal, and no doubt there’ll be some shops closed as they are on the same street as Ex TC ones.
Interestingly though, they have a very different model. Hayes basically do the hunting around for you, and sell you the holiday from another travel company, so of an agent for travel agents.

Good news indeed for Hayes to step up.
As long as they don't behave like those greedy Thomas Cook management they will survive.
Those Thomas Cook management are just disgusting milking the company.

Thomas Cook did that too, though TBF they probably preferred to sell their own for standard package destinations. My MIL and FIL bought a P&O Norway, (country) Cruise from the local Thomas Cook shop this year, and we got a Norwegian, (company - we didn't even go to Norway!) the year before.
Bloody Mackems coming here giving jobs back!
So nice to see shop staff hearing they have a job again, and with a human company.
