Της Αγγλίας τα γνωστά

Από τη μία μου αρέσει, και απ' την άλλη δε μ' αρέσει.

Σίγουρα μου αρέσει όμως όταν κανόνες είναι εναρμονισμένοι με το κοινό αίσθημα. Νομίζω ότι ελάχιστοι συνάδελφοι θα διαφωνήσουν με τα μέτρα αυτά (και κανείς δεν θα τα παραβεί) (εννοώ το θέμα πάρκινγ).

Industrial action affecting public transport

If industrial action occurs which affects tube, bus or rail services, Heads of Department/ Divisions will need to give guidance to staff regarding attendance at work. The following guidance is offered.

1. Each member of staff is expected to make every reasonable effort to present him/herself for work. Where no other means of transport is available, a walk of up to one hour in each direction* (approximately four miles) is not considered unreasonable, except for those who are disabled or otherwise infirm or for whom such a journey would be a risk to health.

*in line with Civil Service guidelines.

2. Working arrangements may be altered for the period of disruption to public transport services, if prior approval is obtained from the Head of Department/Division. Whilst discretion may be used, the following alternatives are suggested as possibilities:

* early or late start and finish times, to avoid peak travel times or to co-ordinate with others sharing travel arrangements;
* taking leave (paid or unpaid), provided that this is acceptable in terms of the needs of the Department/Division;
* redistributing hours of work over fewer but longer days, provided that this is acceptable in terms of the needs of the Department/Division;
* taking work home.

3. Those members of staff who normally travel by car should be asked to consider giving lifts to colleagues.


4. Those members of staff who do not hold parking permits should not bring cars to the College. Parking regulations have to be strictly enforced to comply with safety and fire regulations.
