Workers' Liberty

Victoria station needs asbestos removal, and management's plan is that the ticket office should be relocated to a Portakabin outside the mainline station upstairs for the duration of the works.

Station staff are, naturally, concerned that anyone working in the ticket office will be outside the station, so should not count towards minimum numbers. So will there be enough staff? And how can the Supervisor go and do a ticket office inspection if it involves leaving the premises?! On top of that, how would you feel carrying the ticket office keys between the control room and the temporary ticket office knowing how vulnerable you might be?

There are plenty of questions for management to answer before they go ahead with this.
