Cleaners employed by G4S were due to be taking 48 hours of action on Monday and Tuesday of next week

GMB union members to take industrial action as row over contracts escalates

These workers are struggling to make rent payments and feed their families - they are not asking for the moon, they just want to be treated fairly and equally, says GMB 

Members will also receive an occupational sick pay scheme and all pay will be backdated

This latest attempt to bully them out of fighting for their most basic rights is inflaming rather than resolving the situation, says GMB

Trust must bring contracts back in house before industrial action causes hospital to grind to a halt, says GMB Union

Porters and cleaners industrial action vote closes on 18 March, says GMB Union

GMB is very concerned that the hospital will grind to a halt so we are calling on the trust and G4S to get around the table to resolve this dispute once and for all, say union

They have made their intentions clear to us and they are sending a strong message to their employer that they have had enough, say GMB Union

Our members are simply demanding to be valued and that this be reflected in pay, terms and conditions
