Striking NHS workers conclude four-day strike by marching to ISS headquarters

STRIKING NHS workers employed by private contractor ISS concluded their four-day strike by marching to the firm’s headquarters in Canary Wharf today.

More than 300 workers, employed as domestics, porters and catering staff at two trusts — Croydon NHS and South London and Maudsley NHS — had walked out over pay, terms and conditions.

Speaking from the picket, GMB membership development officer Helen O’Connor told the Star: “Our message to Croydon NHS and South London is — stop outsourcing.

A spokesperson for South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust said: “We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer and are committed to ensuring everyone either working directly for us or our contracted service suppliers are paid fairly.

“We hope that ISS and GMB can resolve their dispute without the need to take industrial action."
