POLICE OFFICERS threatened to arrest striking security guards at a London university hospital for a second time today as they launched another round of walkouts.

The security team at St George’s (SGUL) in Tooting, south London, are striking to end the “discriminatory regime of outsourcing.”

The first round of strikes earlier this month was broken up by police who arrested a trade union lawyer and threatened to apprehend the 25 security guards.
