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?


So how much more does it cost to read an application form filled in
by someone rather than some form of transfer request?


You really don't have a clue as to what's involved in dismissing and
hiring staff do you?


Ok so they have to be paid redundancy pay as well but they lose
certain rights from leaving and joining so it roughly cancels out or
is better for them. So why are they striking?


There is a difference between striking and threatening to strike.
