Pay-As-You-Go Supervisors?

Posted in Tubeworker's blog on ,

LU is training apprentices to supervisor level, but giving them a CSA job at the end of it.

This short-changes apprentices, who give up other educational opportunities to do the two-year scheme. But, worse, LU is using qualified apprentices as "pay-as-you-go" supervisors. They're CSAs for most of the time, but supervisors on Higher Grade Working when it suits LU.

Similarly, those of us currently training for the supervisor's licencing opportunity will be used as cover while current supervisors train for the management-type roles LU wants us to do after it has made station cuts. After that, no promotion, just the chance of Higher Grade Working at LU's whim. What a cheek!

Higher Grade Working enables LU to run with fewer staff than it needs. It benefits management, not us.
