"Outsourced staff in Ipswich get
fewer days of annual leave,
less sick pay,
and also missed out on the extra one-off payment of £1,655 that NHS staff received in the last financial year."
And now East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust wants to outsource jobs at
Colchester Hospital and
community sites such as Aldeburgh and Felixstowe hospitals and the rehabilitation clinic at Bluebird Lodge in Ipswich.
So,
cleaners, porters and housekeepers,
as well as other facilities staff are going on strike
for three weeks.

Industrial action called – Stop the Drop
stopthedrop.uk
GMMH UNISON and UNITE members at the 3 x Manchester Early Intervention into Psychosis Teams will be escalating their strike action with 3 days on;
Tues.11th, Wed.
12th & Thurs.13th December
At
Chorlton House,
70 Manchester Road, Chorlton, Manchester, M21 9UN.
Current negotiations have so far yielded no offer to resolve this dispute by the employer, GMMH, to secure the recurrent funding for Safe Staffing and Safe Workloads. Despite workforce gaps identified by NHS England several years ago, Manchester ICB commissioners have consistently failed to provide adequate funding to deliver properly staffed frontline mental health services for the needs of Manchester residents.
Properly funded community mental health services prevent hospital admissions and save money. Meanwhile Manchester comissioners spend over £30million on private sector out of area hospital beds for Manchester service users. (Norwich, Exeter, Plymouth etc). Severely unwell people separated from their loved ones at a time of greatest distress.

Bit of nice news for a change:
UVW members, the heroic security guards at the Natural History and Science museums, have suspended today’s picket lines at the Museums and the Marriott Hotel for the security industry award ceremony, after bosses offered to start negotiations with ACAS, starting tomorrow 3rd December.
With your solidarity and support the guards have already taken strike action over 13 days since late October which have seen hundreds of people join them on their picket lines.
Thank you to anyone who was planning to stand with them again today, and we may need to call on your solidarity once more for the planned strikes from 8-15 December….

UVW planning (relatively) big strikes tomorrow morning:
Join the mass strike this Christmas!
Over 350 workers and members of UVW including chefs, waiting staff, stewards, bakers, receptionists, cleaners, sales assistants, security guards and more across Harrods, the Science, Natural History and V&A museums and the Department for Education will all walk out in co-ordinated strike action on Saturday 21 December, for a Christmas strike over Scrooge-like pay, benefits and respect!
We'll begin the pickets at Harrods at 10am then march together to the museums, after which we'll have a Christmas toast together to mark what might be the last strike of 2024, and perhaps UVW's biggest yet.
Your presence will be met with the smiles of hundreds of happy strikers.... so do not miss out!
More detail on the Harrods and DfE strikes:

A good result. Without looking at the salary scales, sounds like they’ve won valuable rises for the lowest paid, potential regrading for their roles, and improvements in entitlement for various leaves too.
Wish my local / national branch of unison would have the same success. They ask for it every year but not hard enough!
