We note the report from our Regional Organiser, and reiterate our opposition to the counting of ICSAs towards minimum staffing numbers for stations, as this:
- puts passengers and staff at risk by putting the safe running of stations in the hands of minimally-trained volunteers
- is dangerous at all times, but especially during periods of heavy congestion eg the Olympics
- breaches the settlement of our Casualisation dispute in 2008
