Tubeworker has reported recently on management's attempts to stop CSAs sitting in Gate Line Assistance Posts (GLAPs) - but now it looks like they are trying to go even further any remove the boxes altogether!
Management on the Leytonstone group have proposed a 'trial' of removing the GLAP. We can tell them without any trial what the impact will be - exhausted staff on their feet for the whole shift, 'customers' unable to find staff when they need them, and injured staff with nowhere to retreat to when things kick off.
And why?! Presumably because management are struggling to deliver their promise that station staff will be more 'visible' when there are nearly 800 fewer of us!
Union reps have quite rightly refused to go along with this trial. Keep your ears to the grounds in your area - it could be you next!
