They expect a whole musuem worth of staff to be found jobs within
TFL? Where does the sudden influx of jobs come from? Why should
I, a taxpayer, fund extra people to do something that didn't need
doing before.

How many people work at the museum and how many of them are being
made redundant?

The RMT ommits the important facts from its website... One assumes
from the quote that they are all being made redundant

So you don't know how many people work there and you don't know how
many of this unknown figure are losing thir jobs yet you feel
qualified to complain about "a whole musuem worth of staff to be
found jobs"?


I don't know how many people work there but it's a pretty big place so
it will be a non negligible amount.

Judging by the quote from the RMT it is all these staff who are being
made redundant.

I do feel qualified to make my point known, yes. In my opinion it
would be a waste of money to CREATE one extra un-needed job just
because you had someone who had to be doing something. To try and
find/make up jobs for several people would be an intollerable waste

What about when the mueum reopens, how much will have to be spent on
training and equipping the new people, it is not possble that with
redundacy payments and the costs associated with hiring new people
that it might actually prove cheaper to put these people into some
useful job somewhere, even if it is "only" as a mmeber of station
staff?

If it was *cheaper* then there wouldn't be an issue and conflict with
the unions would there?

If the staff wanted to be a station assistant then there isn't
anything stopping them going to the tube website, downloading an
application form and applying is there?

All of which is unnecessary additional work since they are already employed
by TfL, and you claim to want to reduce the expenditure?
