Workers' Liberty

A CSA at Euston managed to get 0/100 for SATS. Pretty difficult to do, since you normally get some points for just being there.

Management are making their presence felt with unusual enthusiasm at the moment as this year's 'Speak up!' survey is due.

Tubeworker wonders whether duty managers actually read policies before using them to bash staff.

As we all know, 'competence assurance' has been running on the job for a few years now, but plays second fiddle to the essential system of licensing staff to carry out particular roles.
