London Underground has sacked Mercy Odisi, Green Park SAMF and RMT rep, over ticket office irregularities.
But the real "irregularity" in the ticket office is LUL's ridiculous accountancy system. Under this silly procedure, introduced a couple of years ago, ticket sellers don't even count their money at the end of their shift! Instead, they sling it in a bag, it is collected by one private contractor, counted by another - and if there is any discrepancy between the account and the actual money taken, then it only comes to light a couple of months later, by which time the SAMF will find it very difficult to explain. Never mind the injustice, LUL then puts them in the dock!
