Night Tube” will be staffed by additional staff

No existing member of staff will have to work additional nght shifts, except on a voluntary basis. Future rosters will have a comparable number of night turns.
Existing CSAs will NOT have to work night duties. There will be additional recruitment of CSAs to facilitate this.

Higher Grade Working will be paid from the first full shift

The company was previously insisting that we cover any duty for which we are licensed, with no guarantee of additional pay. They then revised this to suggest that, if we worked three consecutive duties at a higher grade, we would get higher grade working pay. They have now retreated further and have agreed that HGW will be paid from the first full shift as it is now,after 2 hours. Still issues to be resolved over CSS coving CSM roles

Part-timers' hours will be protected

The company has agreed that part-time staff who wish to continue working their existing hours will be able to do so. Part time staff get same 30 min location guarantee.
