Silverlink transfer

You might think that now the ex-Silverlink staff are on LUL pay and conditions, then the LUL framework agreement might apply to them.

The unions have stopped industrial action for a document from management which – although it is not nearly so bad as management’s earlier proposals – does dent the principle of 24/7 station supervision. It states that eight of the stations transferred from Silverlink will have supervisors on duty in traffic hours only. Tubeworker has already commented on the need to defend round-the-clock supervision (in the second half of this article), but we want to add some further points.

LUL is very proud of its new acquisitions from Silverlink. Shame it doesn't put the effort in.

Management continue to illustrate why they took on agency workers on the ex-Silverlink stations. Not only are they cheaper, but apparently management can get them to do stuff that they shouldn't - and which is, in some cases, dangerous.
