Socialist Party industrial organiser
The latest Barts hospital workers’ strike on 18 Au-gust was a defiant message to employer Serco that its underhand and dishonest tactics wouldn’t succeed in defeating the low-paid workers who were on their 24th day of action.
At the talks with general union Unite on 11 August, Serco said it would be tabling an improved offer for workers and their union to consider. But absolutely nothing has been forthcoming.
This was a blatant attempt to confuse and demoralise workers on top of their illegal strike-breaking use of agency workers. But these parasitic privateers can be defeated.
It’s now clear that Serco wants to break the strike at all costs. Disgracefully, Barts NHS Trust is standing aside from low-paid workers who keep the hospitals clinically clean and feed and transport patients.
