The announcement
The LACC Management Team has listened carefully to concerns expressed by numerous members of staff regarding the issue of ATCO numbers at night. We have as a consequence decided to undertake a complete review which will consider all aspects of the situation. Accordingly a small working group has been formed to investigate the requirement, form conclusions and make any necessary recommendations to LACC Senior Management.
There is an ongoing period of consultation which includes Prospect and the Operational Management team. To allow this process sufficient time and without prejudice to the conclusion we have agreed a temporary increase in the number of ATCOs on a night duty to 4 in each LAG for the month of May. It is anticipated that the above process will be concluded in sufficient time for any permanent changes to be made in time for the June rosters.
