Shh! Don't Tell Anyone About The Asbestos Removal

Posted in Tubeworker's blog on ,

Management arranged for the removal of asbestos from 18 points at Mornington Crescent without so much as bothering to consult local union health & safety reps. Don't mind us, we only work here.

Perhaps they overlooked the inconvenient fact that asbestos kills; in fact, breathing in just one fibre can cause fatal illnesses - and you probably won't even know it is there. That's why there are strict procedures for asbestos removal, including consulting with local union health & safety reps.

Problem is, of course, that said reps might insist on stringent protection for staff, which might mean the job costs a bit more, or takes a bit longer, or - shock, horror - causes disruption to the service. And we can't be having that now, can we?
