Re-deployment safety net affected by job cuts!

you to on igger groups meaning you won't know where you will e working from one day to the ne&t! $o add insult, literally, to your in%ury, you are going to e facing more and more angry passengers in the new world as there will e fewer station staff dealing with pro lems that used to e dealt with at ticket offices! $he same goes for anyone who is unlucky enough to have a run of SPADs or other incidents! Similarly the company has already admitted that their plans will have a negative impact on disa led staff! 'ith the increasing pressures of driving trains more and more drivers are ecoming unfit to continue in the driving role! In the new world there'll e less and less medically restricted posts availa le meaning that the P() will e the more likely outcome rather than continuing your career! All of this for considera ly less money than station*s grades currently get+ Some claim they can*t afford to take ( days strike action! Could you afford to live on ,--k PA. If you can guarantee not making mistakes or getting ill till you retire then don't worry a out any of these cuts; they won't affect you!

Scab Arm
LUL seems to thin! they can run the tube with an army of scabs with +ust a few hours training. *any will be managers. Hut if these people are on the gatelines, who will be CmanagingC the system# Hob Irow said JK2he idea a scab army of olunteers can replace the wor! of thousands of engineers, dri ers, technical and station sta) is dangerous nonsense and senior LU oLcials !now that.M

it'll be like walking on a tightrope without a safety net to catch you

If you are one of the many drivers who faces a CDI, has too many SPADs or operational incidents for management's liking; or has the misfortune to ecome too ill, through no fault of your own, to continue to drive trains, then may e you should care! "#" are looking to reduce costs! it is going to ecome less likely that a reduction in grade will e the outcome of a CDI! $his has always een the safety net for drivers! If you are one of lucky ones that escapes with a station %o you could e stuck anywhere, working rough shifts; there will also e less posts to redeploy
