Whist the Union looks to ballot Drivers, Station staff on the Charing cross group carried out another 24 hours of industrial action in support of Jerome Bowes.

Only three non-members came into work on Sunday/Monday causing the Management to cover stations with th RCi's, DSM's and office staff which showed great support for our sacked colleague Jerome Bowes.

The result of the ballot is in with a 90 percent yes vote returned, the papers returned were 40 with 36 yes and 4 no's. We will be discussing possible dates for action with our members and reps so watch this space for more information.

Three CSAs off our group were disgracefully displaced to Waterloo last week by Resourcing who stated that the CSAs were 'over establishment' at Charing Cross and due to the fact a dubious letter saying they may be moved had been signed when they all first joined the job. Management think that they have the right to just move staff on as they feel like it with no concern to the correct proceedure within Transfer and Promotions.

After Resourcing's latest fiasco with regards to the three CSAs being told that they are moving to Waterloo, we brought the matter before the stations and revenue functional council today.
