Outsourced NHS workers celebrate pay victory
NHS workers are celebrating victory over their privateer employers after winning a 14.7 per cent pay rise after taking 26 days of strike action.
The 50 workers, including porters, cleaners and caterers, are employed by contractor OCS working at hospitals and clinics run by Lancashire and Cumbria NHS Trust in north-west England.
Unison said that in addition to being paid less than their directly employed NHS counterparts, the OCS staff received only statutory sick pay of £99.35 a week when ill, while NHS staff receive full pay.
