Stop Job Cuts

OSP Adventure

Is LU panicking about the Olympics? Maybe that's why they are drafting in 600 new CSAs on top of the 300 they've already recruited?

LU's recruitment of more CSAs than the number of stations job cuts last year proves we were right to resist OSP.

But it doesn't make up for three years of...

Conference Call

Detrainment staff at Queens Park, Stonebridge Park and Harrow and Wealdstone have been invited to join in on a conference call with management about the fact that their jobs are being abolished and they are being displaced to god-knows-where.

First, management shocked Bakerloo detrainment staff...

Defend Detrainment Staff!

LU management are coming after station staff jobs again - this time, detrainment staff on the north end of the Bakerloo line.

Management announced to staff at the end of June that all 38 trains in the Bakerloo fleet are due to be modified, and for some reason they think this means they won't need...

Keep Fighting For Stations Jobs

Since February, station staff have been living with the impact of the OSP job cuts: anti-social rosters and staff shortages. Staff are also learning to live with new attacks, such as enhanced AFM functionality, as the unions have not given any lead so far on how we should resist them.

But we...

Stations jobs dispute: what next?

With management only giving back around 30 out of 800 jobs in the job cuts review, we have been left with a deeply unsatisfactory result.

In the next stage of the review process, management and the unions will talk at ACAS, with the unions trying to increase the number of jobs restored. The job...

Stations Job Cuts: What Now?

It seems increasingly clear that the stations job cuts reviews will only retrieve a handful of station jobs. Management don't want to listen to the unions' case, and are unmoved by whatever solid arguments union negotiators throw at them. Why would they listen?! They don't care about 'customer...

Line Reserve

'Line Reserve' is happening. Reserve station staff who used to only work on one group are being asked to work on other groups. As we have warned already, this will erode reserves' terms and conditions, who already get precious little notice of their work pattern. It has health and safety...

Don't Work Too Hard!

Since the station job cuts were introduced, it is almosted expected that the few staff now remaining will work extra hard to paper over the cracks. But ticket sellers at Bank station have not buckled under the pressure.

When there has been a fault with a ticket machine in either the Northern Line...

Saturday Night's Not Alright ...

On Saturday night, there was an incident at Bank in which three of the four staff involved were assaulted. It's only the big stations where you would even find four staff on duty at the same time any more, but the staffing levels are obviously still woefully inadequate.

We look forward to our...

Keep Your Head Down?

Staff who have recently attended CDP (formerly ATOR), report that the message coming out of it is: play by the rules or else.....

As CDP goes through the policies and procedures we all need to do our jobs, they are warning that the consequence of not doing so will be the sack!

We have seen the...
