The trust operates four major hospital sites - St Bartholomew's, The Royal London, Whipps Cross and NewhamWorkers at an NHS trust in London have voted in favour of strikes in a dispute over pay and staffing.The trust operates from four major hospital sites, The Royal London, St Bartholomew's, Whipps Cross and Newham, and a number of community locations, including Mile End Hospital.
A trust spokesperson said they were working with staff and unions "to find a resolution" and avoid a strike. Unite's Sharon Graham said workers were planning the action "to combat low pay and understaffing at the trust".Unite said that in a landmark agreement last year, 1,800 workers including cleaners, security guards, porters and domestic staff were transferred to NHS employment from a private contractor.
The union said more than 1,000 workers had not received a £1,655 lump sum, which is part of the recent deal to end the NHS pay dispute. The spokesperson for Barts Health NHS Trust added: "A number of our staff were still employed by Serco on 31 March 2023 and do not qualify for the lump sum under the terms of the national NHS pay deal."
