NHS Infectious disease cleaners strike over working conditions and pay
INFECTIOUS disease cleaners at Guys and St Thomas’ hospitals have begun a second round of strikes over working conditions and pay.
More than 40 members of Unite working at the trust’s Rapid Response Team (RRT) will strike for 17 days until March 28.
“RRT staff work long shifts in unpleasant conditions, cleaning and sterilising areas of the hospital to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases,” said the union.
