Proposed Cuts to Compensation For Workers Who Suffer An Assault Or Railway Suicide
Submitted by Peter on 17 April, 2012 - 17:38From General Secretary Bob Crow
I write to advise you that the Government yet again are proposing changes to the CICS that if implemented will affect the compensation that our members currently receive when attacked at work or when they experience a suicide on the railways. It is currently proposed to abolish the lower tariff bands of the Compensation Criminal Injury Scheme (CICS), this move will remove from eligibility the majority of our members injured as a result of criminal violence during the course of their work.
