CATERERS, housekeepers, security guards and porters employed by Serco at Great Western Hospital in Swindon are set to strike over pay.

The workers, who are demanding one-off payments already awarded to their NHS colleagues, will walk out next Monday for 48 hours, their union Unison said today.

Other workers received two lump payments in a wage deal agreed for staff on Agenda for Change contracts in June 2023, but Serco has refused to award the bonuses.
