Most of us hate working nights.
But rumours that Station Control Room Assistants (SCRAs) might have their night turns cut across the combine should not be welcomed.
We might get rid of our hated night turns. But for sure LU will be thinking only of cutting jobs.
With Ticket Selling jobs reduced so far, and plans for the Supervisor grade, promotional opportunities on the stations are shrinking. The control room is one route up the ladder, and we should not lose it.
The answer to SCRAs' anti-social rosters (usually working nights every four weeks) is to employ MORE not fewer SCRAs: share out the anti-social shifts and ensure the control room is always covered
