MORE than 100 Croydon hospital workers will strike again on Wednesday over plans to transfer their jobs from G4S to ISS.
The GMB union said it will be “out of the frying pan and into the fire” for the outsourced cleaners and porters.
In October they staged a 48-hour walkout for equal pay and conditions as staff employed by the NHS.
But the healthcare workers are to be transferred from one outsourcing giant to another in May.
GMB regional organiser Helen O’Connor said: “GMB has dealt with ISS before at other NHS sites — and as far as we are concerned, this transfer is a case of out of the frying pan, into the fire.
“These workers deserve to be on the same terms and conditions packages — not just pay but holiday, sick pay and other benefits — as their colleagues directly employed by the NHS trust.”
The trust and both firms were contacted for comment.
