Unfortunately it looks like the people who got those fat pay rises arn't the ones who're going to suffer. FWIW no front-line staff are going, and they are the ones that who really seem to have the clout to negotiate better pay deals as opposed to those in admin posts. I don't know why I say this as I suspect it'll just incite you further. I thought you'd be unable to resist a comment or two. Not quite as vehement as I expected but close. Paul, I'm tempted to ask all sorts of questions that I rather suspect you can't really address, at least not on a public forum - so I'll ask this one instead. What is the thinking behind these cuts - is it in expectation of lower passenger numbers and hence lower revenue courtesy of the recession, or is it part of a (or should I say the) wider cost-cutting exercise across TfL - and if so has this budget- crunch been brought on by Crossrail or are the factors at work rather wider than that? |
