HUNDREDS of protesters took to the streets of Lewisham today to demand that the south-east London borough’s hospital becomes a living-wage employer.
Cleaners, cooks and ward hostesses contracted to work at University Hospital Lewisham by employment giant ISS marched in support of their campaign for the London Living Wage (LLW) of £10.75 an hour.
The demonstration started outside the hospital before heading to the borough’s main shopping centre, where local trade unionists and workers spoke to the crowd.
